I spent a little over three weeks at Her Farm and it was the most transformational experience of my life. I flew to Nepal with a friend and I knew very little about the family or culture. I had no idea what to expect, but it exceeded all possible expectations I could have had. The experience is what you put into it, as the beautiful people want to learn and teach as much as you are interested. I learned so much each day, and my eyes opened up to a whole new way of life. It made me think about my life in the states in a more purposeful way. You are guaranteed to learn a lot about yourself and the world if you go to Her Farm. I always felt safe and knew that I would be looked out for, even though I was an 18-year-old who was as far away from home as possible. For me, though there was a lot of hard work, it was the most rewarding work possible. My time at Her Farm flew by and I am flooded with joy when I look at old photos and videos. I truly never knew how kind and welcoming a community of people could be. I have never felt so accepted within a community who barely knew me, and it was incredible. I would love to answer questions about my experience or talk to anyone who is considering making the trip to the amazing Her Farm! My email is Sophiekreed@gmail.com. I can't express how much Her Farm and Nepal will always be held deeply within my heart!

Fantastic nonprofit with impressive projects such as teaching local women to become photographers and building a new oxygen system for a Kathmandu hospital. Great efforts in community service!

My daughter and friend, both 18 years old, had an amazing life changing experience at Herfarm this past summer. I cannot express enough gratitude to Scott and everybody at Herfarm for giving these kids an experience of a lifetime. They are forever changed for the better and I hope that they can return one day.

I was fortunate enough to spend two weeks in Nepal and had a blast! Scott and Sunita were the best hosts and made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable while in country. They set up all of our excursions and ensured that we were able to experience the beautiful Nepalese culture. Likewise, they took us to Her Farm where we were able to meet the amazing women that Scott and Sunita have aided in overcoming very difficult situations. My group and I were only at the farm for a few days, but in that short amount of time the sisters and children and the farm became a second family. It was a truly amazing experience, and I am so grateful to all Scott and Sunita did for us. They are gracious hosts and very caring people. Will definitely reach out to them and the Global Mountain Fund again when I return to Nepal!

From my own personal experiences and also from what I have researched the Global Mountain Fund is an incredible resource for the development of farming, teaching and medical assistance. Under the leadership of Mr Scott MacLennan the Mountain Fund has continually grown to be able to helping folks who would otherwise struggle.

I've been working with Scott at the Mountain Fund for years, and I'm constantly amazed at the number of great projects he has going for the Mountain Fund at any given time. The work they do is pretty amazing, and seeing all the pictures of good results is always great. Someday I hope to actually manage to volunteer and make a trip over to see things first hand.
