Full Description

Description

Nepal is one of the poorest counties in the world where there are 1 million children without parents. The political situation and harsh conditions have the worst effect on the most vulnerable members of society, the ones who have the least resources to help themselves: children, especially orphaned children.

Our partner in Nepal has created numerous programs to help these children. You now have the opportunity to work with them to support Nepali children while climbing the tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest.

The main activities of this program are trekking to the Base Camp of Mount Everest and visiting the children supported by our partner organization in Nepal. Unlike many children's homes in the Kathmandu Valley, the children in our partner's homes are well cared for. Many other children in the surrounding area live in appalling conditions, sometimes without adequate food, education or even water. Our partner provides volunteer support for these less fortunate children.
