Our Story
Trek Relief began as a personal fundraising effort that evolved into a global 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Moved by the devastation of a Nepalese valley after the deadly 2016 Gorkha earthquake, an impassioned traveler took action, organizing treks to partner with and support survivors, rebuild communities, and raise awareness.
Today, Trek Relief continues to combine adventure with purpose, with over 8 years of creating meaningful impact worldwide through purposeful travel.
Our Impact
Since launching, Trek Relief has brought together purpose-driven travelers and local leaders to co-create programs that matter for global communities. Our impact is rooted in our partnership with 1% for the Planet and aligned with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
