Objectives

The Mountain Trust exists to help the hardest hit communities in Nepal by funding the construction of school premises, classroom furniture, teaching and sports materials and uniforms. It also supports the creation of family planning clinics, youth clubs, adult literacy, health awareness workshops and the provision of clean water supplies. Laterly it has developed a pioneering form of teaching by FM radio - which has already begun to show impressive results.

The Trust is also active in sponsoring primary, secondary and tertiary students to persue their educational opportunities where they would otherwise be excluded for economic reasons. The Trust encourages environmental awareness in Nepal and building constructive relationships between Nepal and the outside world.We have been active in the Mid-Western Kaski Region (the second highest populated after the Kathmandu Valley which is better resourced), in Jhapa (in the far East of Nepal) and in Rupendehi (near Lumbini in the South of Nepal).

Since our humble beginnings in 2001, we have raised almost £50,000 - which goes a long way in Nepal. We have also grown appreciably year on year. For example, in 2006, we raised fractionally above £11,000 whereas by March 2007, the Trust had raised over £18,000.

We are registered in the UK and in Nepal. For a complete definition of The Mountain Trust's Objectives, please Click Here.
