Welcome to Everest Mera Foundation
The Everest Mera Foundation (EMF) is a registered charitable NGO in Nepal. Our primary concern is the hundreds of orphan children from the Mahakulung Region of Eastern Nepal who have lost their parents to the Everest tourism industry, mostly working as porters on the treacherous slopes of the world’s tallest peak.
We are providing these children, who are often forgotten and neglected by the rest of the country, with quality educational opportunities to reshape their futures. We are transforming Nepal’s poorest children into tomorrow’s leaders. We believe that an education can turn a child into a responsible and capable citizen. We believe that a responsible and capable citizen has the potential to lift an entire family out of poverty. We believe that an educated generation has the power to change a whole society.
Learn moreOur Strategy
We work with children, families, and communities in the remote mountain areas of Nepal, particularly in the Everest region and Mahakulung. By working closely with local schools, communities, local governments, volunteers, and partners, we identify local needs and develop practical solutions. Our programs focus on education, environmental awareness, health and sanitation, disaster preparedness, community resilience, and wellbeing of mountain communities. We look beyond short-term support, aiming to help children learn, families become more secure, and communities build the confidence and resources for a better future.
Our Values
We believe in working with honesty, respect, and responsibility, while making sure local people have a meaningful voice in the work that affects their lives. We are committed to transparency, accountability, inclusion, and community participation. We listen to local communities, value their knowledge and ideas, and work together with schools, local governments, volunteers, donors, and partners to create practical and lasting change. Above all, we aim to ensure that support reaches the people and communities who need it most.
Our Policies
We are committed to working with integrity, fairness, and accountability. Our policies help ensure that our programs are delivered responsibly while protecting the rights, safety, dignity, and wellbeing of the people and communities we serve. We follow good practices in safeguarding, equality and inclusion, fundraising, financial accountability, and responsible program management. These commitments help us maintain trust and ensure our work creates meaningful and lasting change in Nepal’s mountain communities.
Our Unique Approach
We work with the public school system in Nepal. We support and motivate orphan children from the Mahakulung region to join government schools in the area by providing all basic the requirements to enable their participation, including school tuition fees, shelter, food, uniforms, books, and stationary. Our students attend regular classes at school and join our EMF program in the mornings and afternoons outside of school hours. Our educational program encourages students to think independently and to critically evaluate information, to explore Nepalese culture and history, to develop a world-view and to explore their individual responsibility and ability to bring about change. We also aim to improve the quality of education in our government schools by selectively recruiting and training teachers to lead our students in the Mahakulung Rural Municipality.
