Apa Sherpa has climbed Mount Everest 21 times, more than any other human. But he wouldn’t wish this upon anybody. Having grown up in the remote Khumbu region of Nepal, Apa was forced to leave school and work as a porter at the age of 12. His dreams of being a doctor forever lost. It is a story all too common for the Sherpa people of Nepal, a story Apa aims to change with his work at the Apa Sherpa Foundation.
Ghat Lunch and teacher fundraiser
We hope to raise money to help fund teachers salaries in the village of Thame, Nepal. As well as the continuation of our lunch program, which provides a hot meal for young Sherpa children who trek several hours to school without food for the day.
