developrnent for the poorest people In these regions.

ACMIEVEMENT5 AND PERFORMANCE
REVIEW OF AcfiviTIES
In the year to 31 January 2025, we comblned core projects- solar light distribution. education and
health development in the remote communities in Nepal and Peru- with dlsaster relief following
the Thame glacial lake outburst flood in Nepal.
NEPAL
As well as providin8 school supplies in Thame {Solukhumbul and Manaslu (Gorkha districtl, we
continued to provide funding to the local school in Thame which enabled them to continue engaging
the Services of a full time teacher at the school for another year. Following the Thame Flood. all the
children and staff are now based at the School in Khumjung.

In August 2024 two glacial lakes above Thame village burst and water, mud. l)oulders and debris
flooded down the valley. The flood destroyed many of the homes and bu5ines5es in Thame, the
health post and School. autumn crop5 and winter stores, the hydro electric plant and trails to and
from the village. Working through the Himalayan Trust and local contacts we focused on providing
fundlng for initial food supplies and ensuring the education for the children of Thame.
LED partners with Ang Rita Sherpa of The Partners Nepal on their'one Day One Tree" project which
focuses on planting natlve tree specles, siich as rhododendrons, Junipers, birch, and fir, in key areas
of Solukhumbu, including Khunde, Khumjung, and Pangboche. This not only enhances forest cover
but a150 delivers critical ecolo8ical benefits, suth as stabilizin8 soil, improvin8 watershed health, and
creatin8 habitats for local wildlife. Rooted in it5 collaborative approach, the program has also ralsed
awareness among communities about the vltal role forests play in mitigating the effects of climate
change.
We also support The Partners Nepal with the running COSt5 of the Elderly Care Center old people's
home in 8ung.
Followin8 the floods that hit the Kathmandu Valley In September 2024. Mingmi and Tenzi Sherpa
distributed LED solar lights to outlying areas. l % day's walk from Kathmandu.
PERU
We continued to fund the nurse and medical 5upplie5 at Quishuar Health Post.
We distrlbuted LED 501ar Ilghts to 4 new villa8e communities in the Cordlllera Blanca, startin8 a
project orlginally planned In 2019.
We provlded school supplles to Quishuar primary school.
In May 2024, the Wonky Wombats jolned Val on a trek in the Cordillera Blanca, bringing eye glasses
with them all the way from Australla and helplng to conduct eye clinics.
We also funded repairs at Quishuar Health Post and worked with the village committee to
reorgani5e the water Supply for the village, including the supply fur the health post.
FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AND INCOME GENERATION
Our Just Glv5ng account has been a successful route for donations and we continue to encourage
potential donors to enter sponsored events such a5 marathons etc.

LED is re8lStered with easyfundraisin8.org.uk whlch allows us to fundraise when participants shop
online.
In September 2024. we held a sponsored walk in the Bassenthwaite and Skiddaw area of the Lake
Dlstrict followed by a dinner ralsing over £9,c￿0.

POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES
LED is a charlty to support the philanthropic activities of Val Pitkethly In remote mountaln
communitles in South America and the Himalayas. It is not affiliated to any other group, religlous or
otheThvise, and Is funded malnly through the donations of those associated with Val's trekking work.

developrnent for the poorest people In these regions.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are mostly people who have partlcipated in treks run by Val Pitkethly and have seen at
first hand the benefits of the work she l)as done In the past. In additlon, Ithreel medical students
from Cambridge UnlversSty carried out thelr overseas elective programme at the health post funded

ACMIEVEMENT5 AND PERFORMANCE
REVIEW OF AcfiviTIES
In the year to 31 January 2025, we comblned core projects- solar light distribution. education and
health development in the remote communities in Nepal and Peru- with dlsaster relief following
the Thame glacial lake outburst flood in Nepal.
NEPAL
As well as providin8 school supplies in Thame {Solukhumbul and Manaslu (Gorkha districtl, we
continued to provide funding to the local school in Thame which enabled them to continue engaging
the Services of a full time teacher at the school for another year. Following the Thame Flood. all the
children and staff are now based at the School in Khumjung.

In August 2024 two glacial lakes above Thame village burst and water, mud. l)oulders and debris
flooded down the valley. The flood destroyed many of the homes and bu5ines5es in Thame, the
health post and School. autumn crop5 and winter stores, the hydro electric plant and trails to and
from the village. Working through the Himalayan Trust and local contacts we focused on providing
fundlng for initial food supplies and ensuring the education for the children of Thame.
LED partners with Ang Rita Sherpa of The Partners Nepal on their'one Day One Tree" project which
focuses on planting natlve tree specles, siich as rhododendrons, Junipers, birch, and fir, in key areas
of Solukhumbu, including Khunde, Khumjung, and Pangboche. This not only enhances forest cover
but a150 delivers critical ecolo8ical benefits, suth as stabilizin8 soil, improvin8 watershed health, and
creatin8 habitats for local wildlife. Rooted in it5 collaborative approach, the program has also ralsed
awareness among communities about the vltal role forests play in mitigating the effects of climate
change.
We also support The Partners Nepal with the running COSt5 of the Elderly Care Center old people's
home in 8ung.
Followin8 the floods that hit the Kathmandu Valley In September 2024. Mingmi and Tenzi Sherpa
distributed LED solar lights to outlying areas. l % day's walk from Kathmandu.
PERU
We continued to fund the nurse and medical 5upplie5 at Quishuar Health Post.
We distrlbuted LED 501ar Ilghts to 4 new villa8e communities in the Cordlllera Blanca, startin8 a
project orlginally planned In 2019.
We provlded school supplles to Quishuar primary school.
In May 2024, the Wonky Wombats jolned Val on a trek in the Cordillera Blanca, bringing eye glasses
with them all the way from Australla and helplng to conduct eye clinics.
We also funded repairs at Quishuar Health Post and worked with the village committee to
reorgani5e the water Supply for the village, including the supply fur the health post.
FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AND INCOME GENERATION
Our Just Glv5ng account has been a successful route for donations and we continue to encourage
potential donors to enter sponsored events such a5 marathons etc.

LED is re8lStered with easyfundraisin8.org.uk whlch allows us to fundraise when participants shop
online.
In September 2024. we held a sponsored walk in the Bassenthwaite and Skiddaw area of the Lake
Dlstrict followed by a dinner ralsing over £9,c￿0.
