Welcome
Hike for Help is a non-profit organization established in 2011, focused on implementing self-sustaining service projects in impoverished regions of Nepal. With this goal in mind, Hike for Help coordinates cultural treks to the Khumbu valley to provide support for local villages in their pursuit of development.
Hike for Help projects rely on community input and action from start to finish. Our motto, “Self Enabling Help” drives our project strategy. All projects ideas are generated by community members through small committees and local government officials.
