Our Partners – Kids at School in Nepal

Eco Trek International is one of Nepal’s leading adventure travel companies offering the best of itineraries from all amazing corners of Nepal. Our love for the mountain, its culture and the desire to share it with the world led to the establishment of our company in 1992. Since then, our hands-on approach and years of experience has ensured an excellent client satisfaction record.Eco Trek International is committed to responsible travel and sustainability. It was a commitment formed when the company was established in 1992 and today, in the face of a multitude of threats to the environment, our commitment remains stronger than ever.

The Friuli Mandi Nepal site was created to help children who are disadvantaged because of the poor development in their area. Our group is non- not making and was born from a trekking trip in Tibet which transformed our desire for adventure into a desire to help people.Unfortunately, as in many countries, even Nepal, the realities relating to children in certain social strata are sometimes dramatic. Often the extreme poverty and abandonment penalise children, depriving them of the right to an elementary school education and consequently the prospect of a more decent future.

ICTinspires delivers hands-on training sessions to primary schools in Essex and the surrounding counties and also provide downloadable support materials to over 400 schools both in the UK and internationally, including Nepal. The Directors first met the Trustees of KASIN after a visit to Nepal where they witnessed the plight of education in this remote part of the world. They were so taken by the passion of the Trustees, they pledged to support the charity in any way they can.
