Rebuild Himachal

 Many of you have made endless memories in the Himalayas.
Now, it’s the Himalayas that need you. 

🙏 Be a part of Project Rebuild Himachal.

The Himalayan Volunteer Tourism (HVT Foundation) has launched Project Rebuild Himalayas to stand with families devastated by the floods. Our first urgent mission: Save Kullu Apples. 🍎

 This is the need of the hour — we have just 25 days to act before the apple harvest is lost. Roads are blocked, apples are rotting in villages, and with every passing day, farmers lose their year’s only income.

Instead of letting this hard-earned harvest go to waste, we are converting apples into 100% Pure, Natural, Sugar-Free Juice and sending it directly to you. Every bottle you buy is more than juice — it’s hope in a bottle.



💡 The Math is Simple:
➡️ 2.3 kg of apples (worth ₹300) go into one bottle
➡️ Add processing, bottling, transport = real cost ~ ₹400
➡️ But you get it for just ₹180 per bottle 🙌

📦 Minimum Order: 6 bottles
🤝 Ask a friend to join you – double the impact
🚚 Available in Chandigarh, Delhi & Gurgaon

✨ To save delivery cost, we encourage one society / colony to place a combined order.

 By supporting this, you are:

1. Saving farmers’ apples

2.Rebuilding homes & communities

 3.Supporting students’ education

 4.Funding solar lights, charging stations & sanitary pads for villages

5. Building up Toilets as many villages are facing this problem , specially it's huge problem for women in Villages .

 One bottle of juice costs less than a pizza, beer, or coffee — but it rebuilds lives in Himachal.

📍 Available in Chandigarh, Delhi & Gurgaon
📦 Minimum 6 bottles per order
🤝 Volunteers needed in societies & colonies to collect bulk orders

 Let’s give back to the mountains that gave us so much. 

👉 Stand with us. Spread the word. Place your order. Volunteer.
Together, we can Rebuild Himachal.
