| Pakistan Tours’ Social Responsibility |
| 1 foreign trekker = 1 child’s education |
| Pakistan Tours will sponsor one girl’s primary education for every foreign trekker who visits Pakistan for Snow Lake and Hispar La adventures. The sponsorships will be for one year at local schools in the Karakoram on need basis. All our trekking adventures are special to us because of the tough porters from the Balti community who make trekking and mountaineering in Karakoram possible and in 2019 we decided to give back to our remote mountain communities as part of our CSR initiative. How educating girls will makes a difference? Educating girls will help to reduce infant mortality rate, maternal mortality, child marriages, population explosion and malnutrition. At the same time, it will help to increase numbers of educated children, involvement in political process, support for diversity and co-existence. In conclusion, our initiative will contribute in improving socio economic growth that is much needed in the remote mountains of Karakoram. Our participants can also donate separately. Details on this initiative can be requested. |
