The incidents in 2014 and 2015 hit the Nepalese population hard. A year after the biggest disaster in the history of Mount Everest, the small country was hit by a catastrophe of immense proportions on April 25, 2015. A severe earthquake destroyed houses and infrastructure, there were almost 9,000 fatalities, 22,200 injured, and around 1,062,000 buildings were completely or partially destroyed.
A few hours after the earthquake, Dr. Matthias Baumann traveled to Nepal and operated on earthquake victims with broken bones. Back in 2014, the trauma surgeon from Tübingen was on site as a mountaineer and expedition doctor during the avalanche disaster in the Khumbu Icefall and organized the initial medical treatment of the avalanche victims. He then visited all the families of the deceased Sherpas to deliver the first donations. Back in Germany, he collected further donations to set up sponsorships for the affected Sherpa children. These events had a great impact on Baumann. He founded the Sherpa Nepalhilfe to support the mountain population of Nepal after natural disasters and mountain accidents. In the meantime, Sherpa Nepalhilfe has built 3 schools, a community center, a well and a hospital (Himalayan Sherpa Hospital).
Help with your donation too.
