Phenomenal organization! They are very aware of what needs to be done, and know how to make an impact in the lives of those in need. They take time to get to know those who they help very well, and continue to build relationships. I had a wonderful time volunteering along side this organization and noticed that not only was I changing the lives of those in need, but my life would also be changed forever.

Being a volunteer in my local community, but also internationally I'm often weary of organizations who claim to help, but in the end not all resources that could have go to people in need. The mountain fund however is one of the most caring honesty, and just all around good heart groups of individuals I have ever had the distinct pleasure to have worked with. I can't say enough good things about the folks involved. I can only hope that other follow suit of all the great work done in Nepal, and around the world.

Mountain Fund Nepal has done terrific job in various aspect of Nepal. From Poverty alleviation aspect to Education. From creating a sustainable home for abused and neglected women in Nepal to teaching each women to drive professionally and earn a good living. Project that are running in Nepal lead by Scott are phenomenal and understandable. I really appreciate what Scott and his team is doing out there in third world country.

I have a passion for photojournalism and my initial goal was to travel to Nepal and capture the essence of the people there. My experience with Mountain Fund was inspiring, not only was I able to get in touch directly with the people MAKING the difference and capture the photos I wanted, but most importantly I learned how we as humanity can TRULY help and change a life. Thank you Mountain Fund for making this experience memorable and providing such a hospitable home. I will surely return as my work in Nepal isnt finished.

I worked through the Mountain Fund in the summer of 2010, and it was the greatest experience of my life. Their houses are safe and welcoming, for those who experience some culture shock when they first arrive to Kathmandu. The local guide in collaboration with The Mountain Fund is next to perfect! The houses are situated in a great spot within the city, and nothing so too far to see. Their work with orphanages and local hospitals is key to the learning of those who wish to partake in the life-changing endeavour. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make a difference, and have an amazing adventure at the same time.

I went to Nepal in October of 2010 in my second year of internal medicine residency. I went w my husband and another resident - who had been to Peru w Scott in medical school. We volunteered for the medical trek, expecting great vistas, busy clinics, and some hiking. What we received was far more than that. Yes we had amazing vistas, incredible villages, generous villagers, and great hiking, but it was the overall finely coordinated trek that made the experience wonderful. Our cook was fantastic, the porters amazing, and the support staff incredibly fun and helpful. The tea houses and tents we slept in were sparse - but clean and safe and served to get the job done. the bookends of the trip - the few days before and after - were spent in kathmandu at the volunteer house - and the girls there are phenomenal. all our needs were met and they were fun to be around. Coordinated trips to the tourist must-sees around town were provided, and it was an easy way to see a magnificently complex city. We can't wait to go back - it was worth every penny!

The Mountain Fund supports local development initiatives in mountain communities and connects volunteers to worthwhile opportunity. This small NGO focuses on doable projects that generate real results, and invests both resources and personal commitment into every community in which they work. I am proud to have volunteered with the Mountain Fund in 2010 and look forward to my second stint in Summer of 2012.
