CHAY YA AUSTRIA is a non-profit association who advocates global poverty reduction. Most projects of Chay Ya are lokated in remote and hard accessible areas, mainly in the mountain regions of the Nepali Himalaya with the aim to overcome poverty in a sustainable way. The term „Chay Ya“ has its roots in the Tibetan language and means „let´s do it“. The projects vary with the needs of the lokal communities in the project regions and therefore Chay Ya supports with humanitarian emergency relief, builds up basic services in hygiene und primary health care, stands in for the education of children, co finance the medical education of adults and has different reconstruction projects after the earthquake in Nepal in 2015.
