BURWEN EDUCATION FOUNDATION NEPAL

The BEF has provided resources for communities to accomplish their own goals, relying on relationships for successful projects... In 2006 the BEF played a crucial role in the establishment of a Nepalese NGO, "Action for Nepal" (AFN), with a focus on education, clean water, and healthcare. The BEF established close personal relationships with AFN's founders, Lakpa and Jangmoo Sherpa, providing initial funding and ongoing mentoring for their numerous education, water purification, and healthcare initiatives... Our foundation had its beginnings in Nepal. Through a mishap on a commercial trek to the basecamp of Mt Everest in 1999, we became acquainted with Dorje Sherpa, and learned about life in his remote village of Solaban, where there are no roads and no wheeled vehicles.
