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 2015 earthquake, an impassioned traveler took action—organizing treks to 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.
