HIMALAYAN RAYS
a community initiative
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Just like the first rays of light that hit the Himalaya mountains, we hope to give a ray of hope to impoverished children of the remote Everest region of the Himalayas.
MISSION
Helping under-privileged children and families in remote Everest region of the Himalayas by funding their education
Many young children worked as porters and carry heavy loads for days at a time with no access to the opportunities that an education can provide. This far-reaching initiative extends educational opportunities to children in Khumbu region of the Himalayas.
Education is the key out of poverty. Your help will transform their lives and their families in generations to come.
Besides education sponsorship, we also work in various projects like free medical camps, providing job through hiking, empowerment through skills training and development, natural disaster support, basic needs, inspirational programs, culture revival and many more.
