Braldu Valley Foundation
From Remote to Resilient: Community-Driven Sustainable Change
BVF is committed to building community-driven, scalable development models in mountainous regions that face isolation, resource scarcity, and the growing impacts of climate change.
Our vision
BVF transforms isolation into opportunity in the mountainous regions we call home. Born from the valleys of Gilgit, we understand that remote communities aren’t defined by their challenges—they’re defined by their resilience. We partner with mountain villages to convert resource scarcity into innovation and climate threats into sustainable solutions, building tomorrow’s strength on today’s local wisdom.
Our Mission
We champion community-led development through deep listening and bottom up partnership. BVF strengthens local organizations and amplifies traditional knowledge, ensuring mountain communities direct their own journey toward resilience. Through five core programs, we don’t deliver solutions—we cultivate the leadership that already exists in every valley.
