A
bit more about the Trust.
Sherpas
and The Nepalese
The
Himalayan Trust aims at long term solutions to the problems
confronting the Sherpas and other Nepalese living in the
Everest district of Nepal. Every project follows a formal
petition from villagers. They are required to undertake
a year of preparatory work.
Then
Sir Edmund Hillary provides funds, Technical help and advice
to Sherpas and other Nepalese.
Each
project is followed to a conclusion and help given with
subsequent maintenance. Local workers benefit from pay when
working on projects. All workers from outside Nepal are
volunteers. No money is paid to agents.
Achievements:
-
27
schools have been built: continuous repair and extension
programme.
-
100+
Sherpa and other Nepalese students annually receive
scholarships.
-
2
hospitals and 13 village health clinics have transformed
medical and health care.
-
Almost
100,000 indigenous tree seedlings are nurtured, planted
and protected each year.

harshness of their environment and to work for a better
future
