The Himalayan Trust

The Himalayan Trust is a charitable organization established in 1966 by Sir Edmund Hillary, the first climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Its primary mission is to support education, health, and infrastructure development in the remote Khumbu region of Nepal. The trust funds schools, health clinics, and other essential services to improve the quality of life for local communities, particularly the Sherpa people. It aims to foster self-reliance and community development while preserving cultural heritage. The trust relies on donations and fundraising efforts to continue its impactful work in the region.
