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 have been sponsoring school and university students, building schools, community projects, assisting orphans and providing health care to the hardest hit in Nepal since 2001. We also organise Internships, volunteers and advise other NGOs planning to work in Nepal.

We are currently working on the Radio Guru Project - to bring the best quality teaching to the whole country and beyond via Satellite FM radio - and a converted Land Rover Ambulance to serve remote communities. We are also working with University College, London, Oxford University, the Royal College of Irish Surgeons and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute on a high altitude genetic study into Hypoxia with significant ramifications for patient care worldwide.

To date, we have raised over £156,000 which goes a long way in Nepal. We are members of the Cambridge University Humanitarian Centre and have 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: ...

"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.

"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.

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