Our past and ongoing projects include:

1) SCHOOLS:

While in the beginning we helped orphanages, our main goal has now been to build schools in remote regions of Nepal. Since our inception in 2006, we have built/rebuilt eleven schools/hostels.

Below is a list of schools we have built or *helped rebuild:

  1. Pathibhara Primary school in Kavre district
  2. Financial help for the Bindabasini High School in Kavre district
  3. Gaubari Primary school in Taplejung district
  4. Jalpa Secondary school in Khotang district
  5. Yasang Primary school in Taplejung district
  6. Margem Primary school in Taplejung district
  7. Shree Simha Devi Lower Secondary School in Gorkha district
  8. Shree Pashupati Higher Secondary School in Parbat district
  9. Solima Primary school in Taplejung district
  10. Girls hostel at Hangdewa Higher Secondary School in Taplejung district
  11. Girls hostel at Tembe in Taplejung district

2) SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS:

We have set up the Teacher’s fund of $700 – $1,200 each for the following schools:

  • Gaubari Primary school in Taplejung district
  • Yasang Primary school in Taplejung district
  • Margem Primary school in Taplejung district
  • Child Care Center, Hellok, in Taplejung district
  • Solima Primary school in Taplejung district

These schools use this fund to provide micro loans to local villagers for between 24-36% p/a. The interest is used to pay the teacher’s salary. The fund remains intact.

We also provide the salary for a teacher at the Shree Simha Devi Lower Secondary School in Gorkha district.

3) SUPPORT THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS IN KATHMANDU:

We currently sponsor the education of Elvisha Thapa, Maya Gurung and Ash Maya Gurung. We will continue to support and sponsor their education through high school and maybe further.

4) FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ORPHANAGES:

We have provided support to the Kumari Project, Mitrata Home, Hopeful Home and the Sarva Asraya Home.

6) REBUILD HOMES DESTROYED BY THE EARTHQUAKE:

Within two years of the destruction caused by the 2015 earthquake, we coordinated the rebuilding of at least 50 homes. On February 2019, with the help of a Sierra Club trekking group, we built two more homes. We hope to build two more in February 2023.

7) DISTRIBUTED RELIEF MATERIALS to far flung villages after the devastating 2015 earthquake:

3 Summits raised a substantial amount and distributed relief materials to more than 10 far flung villages.

8) HELP DURING THE PANDEMIC in 2020/2021:

We raised over $100,000 and distributed medical items and rations during the pandemic.

9) WOMEN’S HIGH ALTITUDE TREKKING GUIDE TRAINING:

With the objective of providing women an opportunity to work in the trekking industry in Nepal, we seek to provide them the required skills and knowledge through an annual training program in the high mountains of Nepal.
