Nepal Flood Relief X Dhaulagiri Trek: Rebuilding for a Brighter Future
In the aftermath of the devastating floods that impacted Nepal, Trek Relief’s team recently completed a vital project to restore a flood-damaged classroom in the remote village of Khavre. Despite the challenges posed by the flood’s destruction, which left the classroom buried under mud, rocks, and fallen tree trunks, the school continued to operate, serving 91 resilient students. Many of these children had already suffered the loss of their homes and loved ones.
Seeds of Hope: Trek Relief’s Support for Sustainable Farming in Nepal
In November 2024, Trek Relief’s team traveled to Nepal to support The Small World’s Seeds of Hope program in Solukhumbu. Our mission was to provide both financial and hands-on support to build climate-resilient food systems, promote food security, and empower women through agricultural training and community development. The trip also included the Pikey Peak trek, where participants combined adventure with meaningful service, deepening their connection with the community.
