Namaste and welcome to The Mountain Trust.

We are a charity registered in the UK (No. 1112841) & in Nepal (NGO No. 859/060/061). We specialise in education, health & human rights in Nepal. We sponsor Nepali students at school, college and university, have funded school & orphanage construction, community projects, and provided health care to the hardest hit in Nepal. We organise Internships, Volunteering and advise other NGOs planning to work in Nepal.

We are currently working on the Radio Guru Project - to bring top quality teaching to adults and students in Nepal (and beyond) by FM radio - as well as deploying a converted Land Rover Ambulance to serve remote communities (which has treated over 1,250 patients so far, for free) - and working on various other projects. We are partnered with University College, London, Oxford University, the Royal College of Irish Surgeons and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to facilitate a high altitude genetics study into Hypoxia with significant ramifications for patient care worldwide. We have also established a joint Internship programme with the Institute for Democracy & Conflict Resolution - enabling the Trust to assist in the field of human rights.

To date, we have raised over £160,000 which goes a considerably longer way in Nepal. The Trust belongs to Cambridge University's Humanitarian Centre and has the support of Michael Palin, Lord Wilson of Dinton, Professor Hugh Montgomery of University College, London and Professor Todd Landman, Director of the Institute for Democracy and Conflict Resolution.

Some quotes: ...

"The study of those who dwell in the thin mountain air can tell us much about how humans survive illness in the lowlands. The support of The Mountain Trust is allowing us to do just this - helping us understand the causes of complications in pregnancy - and how they might be avoided."
Professor Hugh Montgomery, University College, London.

"The IDCR-Mountain Trust partnership brings together academic expertise and rigorous analysis with practical project-based work in one of the world's newest (and highest) democracies."
Professor Todd Landman, Director, Institute for Democracy & Conflict Resolution.

"I'm very proud to be a Supporter of the Mountain Trust."
Lord Wilson of Dinton (former Cabinet Secretary & Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge).

"Students seeking field work experience that has a real and lasting impact in Nepalese society should look no further than The Mountain Trust."
Karen Smith. Placement & Career Centre, Brunel University.
