West Nepal is one of the least developed places in the world and desperately needs support. It’s home to the country’s most vulnerable people, more than half of them living in poverty. Almost two thirds of children under five are malnourished.
​
Empowering children through education is the best chance the people have to develop their lives, but until lifestyle, communication and transportation are improved, it won’t be possible to educate children in the villages.
​
We have a goal to improve communications in the villages so that children can video chat with their parents during their years at school.
In the long term, we would like to help village conditions improve to the point that teachers will want to live there and therefore educating children in the villages will be possible.

CAPTAIN TOM 100 CHALLENGE
THE CHALLENGE
From March 2020 until now has been an incredibly tough time fundraising for charities and Snowland Journeys is no exception. Which makes Sir Captain Tom’s drive to keep moving in motivation even more remarkable.
Captain Tom reached for the sky and touched the moon, smashing his £1000 goal as he walked 100 lengths of his garden, going on to raise £38 million!
In honour of this amazing feat we are asking people to join snowland journeys and take on their own Captain Tom 100 charity challenge.
Whether it's completing 100 sit ups (tough!), smiling 100 times (happy!), scoring 100 goals (scoooorrreee!) or baking 100 cakes (yummy!), it's up to you.
The challenge takes place between 30th April and 2nd May, and you can do 100 of whatever you want to raise money.
WHY US?
Your Captain Tom 100 will help ensure Himalayan children maintain contact with their families, communities and culture alongside their right to education, and will ensure the children are physically and emotionally equipped to make the long journey home to reintegrate with parents.
Decide what your 100 will be, then set yourself up by clicking 'sign up' or simply share this link with your supporters, and let's smash this challenge!
For ideas to inspire your 100 have a look at our challenge and ideas on this page.
