Besides depending on international donors, government and charitable events Mother Everest looks at fulfilling it objectives and sustaining some of the projects on its own through programs that it looks to run with local support. Tourism is the vehicle by which the Mother Everest looks to promote and help support its community projects in remote areas of Nepal. The organization encourages western visitors to rub shoulders closely with the society by actually participating in building projects and working with local people. Apart from international donations, government support Mother Everest will be actively involved in exploring the possibilities to fund the activities that it conducts through student programs, volunteer programs, community building treks and home stays. The programs offer a unique opportunity to the visitors to influence the life of another human being positively and ensure a change in their lives while at the same time ensuring the preservation of their unique culture and heritage. It provides the volunteer, the trekker or the student to be directly involved in the project, be it building a house for a displaced war victim or organizing a workshop on environment protection. The sense of closeness and working in such close proximity helps develop meaningful friendships and gives the visitor a different perspective on the lives of the local people as well as helps them understand the local culture better. You can get involved in a wide range of projects, from helping people re-building mud huts, to teaching English conversational skills, painting a monastery, sharing basic health and hygiene tips, helping out in a local school, offering vocational training or assisting the villagers in their daily tasks.
