<br />
The '''Himalayan Trust''' is a non-profit organization founded by [[Sir Edmund Hillary]] in 1960. The primary mission of the Trust is to improve the living conditions and provide educational opportunities for the people of the [[Khumbu]] region in [[Nepal]]. The Trust has been instrumental in building schools, hospitals, and other essential infrastructure in the region.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Himalayan Trust was established following Sir Edmund Hillary's successful ascent of [[Mount Everest]] in 1953. Deeply moved by the poverty and lack of basic amenities in the Khumbu region, Hillary decided to give back to the [[Sherpa people]] who had supported his expedition. The Trust was officially founded in 1960 and has since played a crucial role in the development of the region.<br />

==Projects==<br />
The Himalayan Trust has undertaken numerous projects over the years, focusing on education, healthcare, and infrastructure.<br />
<br />
===Education===<br />
One of the Trust's primary objectives is to provide quality education to the children of the Khumbu region. The Trust has built several schools, including the [[Khumjung School]], which was the first school established by the Trust in 1961. The Trust also provides scholarships and teacher training programs to ensure a high standard of education.<br />
<br />
===Healthcare===<br />
The Trust has made significant contributions to healthcare in the Khumbu region. It established the [[Kunde Hospital]] in 1966, which provides essential medical services to the local population. The Trust also runs various health camps and vaccination programs to improve the overall health of the community.<br />
<br />
===Infrastructure===<br />
In addition to education and healthcare, the Himalayan Trust has been involved in building essential infrastructure such as bridges, water supply systems, and sanitation facilities. These projects have greatly improved the quality of life for the people in the Khumbu region.<br />
