The Nepal Trust works in the remote and impoverished Humla region of Nepal to improve health, promote community development, and provide hope. It operates a network of health posts staffed by local health workers, trains villagers, and brings in medical volunteers. It also implements renewable energy and education projects, helps preserve cultural heritage, and develops sustainable tourism to generate income for villagers. The document encourages involvement through donations, fundraising, volunteering, or joining the Community Connections program to support a village for three years.

Editor's Notes

  • #2: If talking to a Rotary group it may be worth pointing out: The Rotary symbol is displayed here as The Nepal Trust is included in the RIBI Project Library, and since 1998 when it was elected as that year’s President’s prefered charity, it has received a great deal of support from Rotary clubs all over the UK, as well as other countries.
