As
a compassionate company, Kathmandu Adventure
Treks takes an active part in working
to help underprivileged children.
Our
chosen charity is the Nepal Helpless Children's
Education Programme (NHCEP), a project
set up in 1997 to teach children from
the most deprived and impoverished backgrounds.
NHCEP
was established because so many children
in Nepal live on the streets and are forced
to beg, steal or do menial work. Others
are explited as slaves or domestic labourers.
Concern over these issues led NHCEP to
set up schools for these children, as
well as an orphanage, where some of the
youngsters have been taken off the streets
and are now able to led dignified and
happy lives.
NHCEP
has a network of international supporters
and benefactors but it is a constant struggle
to obtain sufficient funds to keep all
parts of the project running.
For
this reason, Kathmandu Adventure Treks
has pledged to donate 10 per cent of all
profits to NHCEP.
So,
in addition to enjoying the experience
of a lifetime on your tek you can rest
assured that many deserving children will
benefit from your holiday ! |
