Trekking for Kids - TFK Socially conscious trekkers bringing hope to orphaned and at-risk children around the world. The Trek follows.

Trekking for Kids (TFK), a 501(c)(3), harnesses a traveler's love of adventure and combines it with life-changing improvements on the home of orphaned and at-risk children living in the shadows of iconic trekking destinations. Trekking for Kids takes travelers around the world, wherever adventure awaits; a TFK expedition is an impactful and transformative experience. Before an expedition, Trekkers raise money from their own communities to donate directly to the sustainable orphanage capital improvement project. Local contractors are hired to do the majority of the work, and Trekkers put the final touches on the project during a work day when they arrive in-country. A field trip, party, and other activities with the children after the Trek create a bond that underscores the beauty of the connection.

Day 3 saw our trekkers leave the camp at Cala Sisine, where they practically had the beach to themselves in the evening amd early morning, to head up and then back down to reach Cala Luna. While some of the Sardinian beaches get ranked amongst the most beautiful in the world, our trekkers don't just get there by boat but through considerable effort up steep ascents and sharp (and rocky!) descents, as we all keep in mind the people of who this alumni trek is supporting.

Our first hiking day in our alumni & friends trek was epic. Nature, wildlife, and food were all part of it! Funds raised by this trek went to help victims of the Nepal floods.

This first day started with a long and arduous walk up and down from Ponta Salinas and the reward of Cala Goloritzé (beach!) after coming down. Well done, trekkers and thanks to all who support them! And a special shout out to NüAdventure who has organized a phenomenal experience in this beautiful island for !

We have been deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Nepal. We’ve been fortunate to establish enduring friendships during our many trips to Nepal over the years.

Our good friend Jagat Lama is currently working in three communities (Belkotgardhi Oda Numbers 5,7,8) along the Trishuli River that were hard hit by the flood waters. Many families in that area lost everything, including home furnishing, kitchens, and cooking supplies. We are raising funds to help Jagat purchase cooking gas cylinders and portable stoves to distribute to people now living in shelters in these three communities. It is our goal to help 100 families.

After 7 years, TFK is back in Thailand on a family trek. After a few days enjoying the beaches around Railay, we spent two fun-filed days with the children at the Banbangpru School, near Khao Sok National Park. Special thanks to Our Jungle Camp Life Center who helped organize the project, the staff at the school and, of course, to all our amazing volunteers and donors who raised funds to purchase 10 new computers and desks for the school’s computer lab.

Happy New Year!
If you would like to make a tax-deductible year end donation that will make a difference, donate today on our website under OSF (Orphanage Sustainability Fund) and your donation in its entirety will go to support our trusted partner, Centro Astalli in Trento, Italy.

Centro Astalli provides apartments for refugee mothers and their children and they are asking our help to furnish an apartment with beds, wardrobes, and kitchen supplies for a refugee family. TFK worked with Centro Astalli in 2021 on a similar project.

TFK will match the first $1000 in donations this week.

Ending a trek is bittersweet: getting back to our loved ones, but also saying "see you on a future trek" to old and new trekking friends. On the final days in Vietnam, the trekkers got to visit villages, cruise Ha Long Bay, cycle in the countryside, visit historical and spiritual sites, and enjoyed new food dishes! THANK YOU again to our trekkers and their donors for the gift of their their effort and donations to improve the facilities for the kids in the mountain villages of North Vietnam!

Our trek's final day of hiking took our trekkers to Đồi cỏ Ba Quáng (Ba Quang Grass Hill), a beautiful spot with a different look vs other hikes during our trek.  It was a great spot to end the hiking part of the trek and do a couple of important things in our trekking tradition:  the banner shot and the trekkers leap!  Next, our trekkers will enjoy a couple of days of R&R and cultural visits.
