The Himalayan Trust is an international non-profit humanitarian organisation first established in the 1960s by Sir Edmund Hillary, who led the trust until his death in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3740536.stm )〕 The Himalayan Trust aims to improve the health, education and general wellbeing of people living in the Solukhumbu district. The Himalayan Trust is headquartered in New Zealand where it is a registered charity through the Charities Commission. The Trust has charitable and donee status and is a member of the Council for International Development (CID). ==Recent activities== In 2013, a (water and sanitation project ) was launched in Lukla to enable all residents of the village to have access to fresh, running water and to establish a fire-fighting system. This was established by Lukla residents and the Himalayan Trust provided 50 percent of the funding. In 2015, the project was successfully completed. In April 2014, the avalanche on Mount Everest killed 16 Nepalese guides. The Trust immediately set up a fund〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/himalayan-trust-looks-to-help-sherpa-families-after-mt-everest-avalanche-2014042107 )〕 to support the families of those killed in the disaster, and to date, along with The Himalayan Trust organisation in the United Kingdom, has raised NZ $83,000. Funds raised support a scholarship programme for the children of the victims. The Himalayan Trust also provides ongoing support for schools in the Solukhumbu region. 67 schools receive educational resources, and the teachers from all the high schools receive specialist curriculum training. Furthermore, teachers from 12 schools receive training in English medium teaching and there is an academic scholarships programme open to all students in the region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Himalayan Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
