Empowerment

Our aim, our mission, our goal

We work with our trusted in-country partner NGO's to support positive change and opportunity for children, women and communities across Asia and Africa. Our main focus for change is through educational projects whilst developing empowerment projects alongside. These projects include vocational training for single mothers and Dalit women to generate an income to support their families, through to a range of educational projects with children to support their education and better wellbeing.


Our work will continue to be supportive in nature and provide the tools to enable communities to nurture their women and children.

India 

Since 2013, our main focus has been to support the development of disadvantaged women and children through education and vocational training in conjunction with our partners and donors.


Working with our partners in Andra Pradesh and Rajasthan, we also support disadvantaged young women and single mothers in the areas. 


In 2024, we, along with partners and donors delivered training to over 100 women, women who lived in poverty and worked in agriculture earning as little as £2 per day. 


In 2025, we added a new partner - 'Our Little Project' in Pushkar working to support the educational needs of gypsy children. 

Nepal 

Following the 2015 earthquake which devastated the country, we partnered with an NGO covering the Helambu region to support the reconstruction of rural schools, creation of temporary learning centres, supply of vital educational supplies and essential support of marginalised communities. Our work continues with the funding of scholarships,  village flood defences, school bags and ongoing community support.

Our Everest Base Trek in 2022 raised over £10,000 for our in-country partner to continue essential education projects and teacher training. A further trek is now organised for February 2028. 

Indonesia - Sumatra 

To date we have funded at least 60 operations for children with cleft lip and palate and support our partner in their vital work. This partnership has enabled us to develop new initiatives in education, improving mobility for some of the poorest families with disabilities and the creation of a cooperative of single mothers weaving traditional Batak scarfs to generate an income.

Mauritius 

Hard to believe, yet, behind the holiday resorts lies poverty for the Afro-Mauritian community living in shanty areas with no running water or sanitation. Here lies opportunity for the drugs and sex trade to exploit children and young adults and that is why our work is so important to support our partners in providing breakfast, lunch and after school programmes for the children, washing facilities and essential food supplies to the poorest. This has led to the creation of vocational training initiatives for local single mothers and the further development of the children's centre in La Collette. Our aim is to keep children off the streets and in full time education and activities

How do we do all this? 

The funding for all these wonderful projects comes mainly from us running regular trips (and treks including Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro and Annapurna in 2027) for people of all ages and backgrounds to see the projects and children first hand. 

Many return year after year to experience different projects and countries or have developed a bond making them want to return to the same one. Why not find out what makes these trips so addictive?  Click Here!
