Educational Support To Children Of Deceased Mountaineers

The men who are the breadwinner of a sherpa family are dependent on trekking and expeditions as they had no other alternative source of income. Most of the Sherpa’s are involved in climbing and mountaineering profession which is a very risky job. There are many families who have lost their family members during the mountain expedition.

The MRTFN (Mountaineering Rescue Training Foundation Nepal) recognizes the unique challenges faced by the families of deceased mountaineers in Nepal's mountain region. With the support of Ken Noguchi's Foundation, Peak Aid Japan, MRTFN launched a project in 2002 to provide education support for the children of deceased mountaineers.

Since its inception, the project has supported more than 30 students, helping them to achieve their high school degrees and build a better future for themselves and their families. The MRTFN is committed to supporting the education of these children and helping them to overcome the financial challenges that often arise after the loss of a loved one.

Sherpas, the indigenous people of Nepal's mountain region, have a long history of involvement in the tourism industry. Many Sherpas work as porters, guides, and lodge managers, providing essential services to mountaineering and trekking groups that visit the region. While tourism has brought economic opportunities to the area, it has also brought risks, as many Sherpas work in the high-risk profession of climbing and mountaineering.

In the event of a mountaineer's death, the financial impact on their family can be devastating. The MRTFN's education support project helps to alleviate this burden and provide the children of deceased mountaineers with the opportunity to continue their education and build a better future for themselves.

If you would like to learn more about the MRTFN's education support project and how you can help, please Contact Us.
Together, we can help to build a brighter future for the children of deceased mountaineers and support the development of Nepal's mountain region.

I would like to thank you for being so generous and sponsoring my education. You have been a source of constant support and inspiration for me.

Now after completing my+2 education I have come back to my hometown. To study further more my single mother can't afford my education fees so I decided to work for some years. Currently I am working at 'Home Away From Home Namche' it's a private hostel where I have to teach the primary level children’s. I have to take care of them. I am happy working here. I am grateful and humbled today to realize the amount of time, dedication and money you have sent on me. It truly means so much to me.

I would like to thank Mr. Ken sang for providing me with the opportunity. Also, would like to thank Mr. Passng Dawa Sherpa for taking care of me and the entire team while in school and college. The support and the motivation you gave is greatly appreciated. Every time I achieve something, deep in my heart, I know this wouldn’t be possible without PEAK Aid. Today I am here because of PEAK Aid. It not only benefited me but also benefited my parents. It made a difference in our lives.

If you were not there may life would have not been easy as today. I am very grateful. Hope MRTFN will continue supporting children like me in future too. Once again, I would like to thank MRTFN, Ken Noguchi and Auu Pasang Dawa for your help
