Active Hearts Foundation Documentary

The Active Hearts Foundation is a grass roots international charity based in New Zealand. Their focus lies in remote Himalayan villages, prioritizing health and education projects. The idea for the foundation came from Dan Keys, a senior Active Adventures guide who leads trips for us here in New Zealand and in Nepal. Since then, many amazing people have contributed to projects including libraries, medical clinics, pipeline projects and more! Watch our documentary to discover the amazing journey Dan, Arjun and their team have been on.
