For the mountains,

and those who
rely on them.

Established as a means of giving back to the mountain communities of his homeland, the Nimsdai Foundation was set up by mountaineer Nimsdai Purja in 2022 and supports educational, environmental, inspirational initiatives and disaster relief.

Redefining What Is Possible

The Nimsdai Foundation exists to 'Inspire, Educate, and Protect' through bold, impactful projects. We support individuals and communities around the world by delivering transformative work across four key pillars: education, environment, inspiring others and disaster response.

From empowering young people through inclusive educational programmes, to protecting fragile mountain ecosystems, harnessing the power of the outdoors to inspire and rehabilitate and responding to natural disasters, our work is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and purpose.

The Nimsdai Foundation works across the big mountain communities, with partners, NGOs and Governments. Together we are changing lives by supporting people and projects that redefine what is possible.
