SPONSORSHIP

All the intrepid individuals on this memorable journey will be aiming to raise £750 of sponsorship money before November 2023. That may sound like a lot, but we've made it as easy as possible to achieve that goal: you can utilise Facebook's new fundraising tool, and the trustees are here to help you every step of the way. 95% of past trekkers have smashed their target! The funds raised will be used for building a water storage tank to supply water year-round to Bugam village. Bugam is a small settlement in Nepal’s Sindhupalchowk district and was completely devastated by the earthquake in 2015. One of the key issues for the village today is a shortage of drinking water during the dry season, which can last up to three months. This is the problem we will be aiming to rectify.

SINDHULPALCHOWK TREK - PAYMENT PLAN**

We want to make this awesome experience as accessible as possible. Therefore, we encourage trekkers to take advantage of our payment plan in order to help spread the cost of the trip. Here is our suggested payment plan:

• By end April 2023 - £200
• May-August - Four monthly instalments of £200
• By end October 2023 - Final remaining payment of £250

Please note: This is just a suggested payment plan. You can pay the entire fee as a one-off, pay in two half instalments etc. As long as the full amount is cleared by end of September 2023.

(*If the total amount of sponsorship funds raised by trekkers exceed the required funds for projects NERF is currently working on in this region of Nepal, we reserve the right to use the funds for other projects we are working on in the country. All our projects are carried out in partnership with thoroughly-vetted local NGOs and all the work we do is in line with our overall mission and values).

(**Our tour provider quotes prices for this trip in Nepalese Rupees and we have to convert to GBP to work out the price for our clients. Please be aware that market forces and currency volatility are beyond our control - especially with the current uncertainty around the UK economy. There is a margin for some exchange rate fluctuations in the quoted tour price but any huge changes may result in a slight price increase or decrease).
