About UNICEF UK Nepal Trek 2009

This is a group to celebrate the successes of UNICEF UK’s Nepal trek fundraisers.

Our Pike Peak Challenge will take our fundraisers through one of the most beautiful and remote parts of the Himalayas. They will go off the tourist track and into some of the best walking country on Earth.

UNICEF is working in a number of areas to improve the lives of children in Nepal. For example, we are helping children like eight year old Usha attend school. In the past, people in Usha’s remote village were not happy sending their daughters to school. “We are poor people, we work in others’ fields, so it is only natural that we need our daughter’s help at home,” says Usha’s mother. In 2004, however, UNICEF initiated the Welcome to School campaign to increase the enrolment of girls in school. “The teachers told us that the schooling was free and that Usha would receive books and a scholarship of 350 rupees,” Usha's mother says. Projects like this go a long way towards ensuring that more children in Nepal get the education they deserve.
