Woman Only Charity Trek to Base Camp Everest

This December, myself and 20 other women from around the world will be taking part in a charity trek to Base Camp Everest led by Susan Devitt, founder of Take on Nepal.

Take on Nepal believes that when women come together great things can happen. Groups of women supporting each other through challenges and celebrations can be an incredibly powerful experience and thats what the women-only Everest Base Camp Trek is all about.

The money raised from this charity trek will be used to set up a women’s training and employment facility in Kathmandu, it will be a space for the most vulnerable women (women with a disability, single Mum’s and women who are survivors of human trafficking). Many of the women from remote villages are unable to return to their village due to stigma, which leads them to isolation and poverty. We are going to provide the women with the skills and training in sewing, dressmaking, and felting with a view to selling their products in both Nepal and Australia.

The hope is to make a real impact and for support to get to the most vulnerable people in Nepal; women and children. The women-only trek will be a coming together of women from around the world and in Nepal. It’s an opportunity to inspire and create real change.
