Mingmar Foundation

The Mingmar Foundation, formally known as Nepal Care Concern (NCC), was founded by Mingmar Sarkee Sherpa. Through this INGO, Mingmar has led numerous social and educational initiatives across Nepal’s Himalayan regions, focusing on uplifting communities in some of the most remote and underserved areas.

In 2015, during the devastating earthquake that claimed thousands of lives and left tens of thousands missing, Mingmar witnessed firsthand the destruction of homes, schools, and historic monuments. This life-changing experience revealed how quickly everything can be lost and strengthened his conviction that investing in education is one of the most powerful ways to rebuild a nation-even in the face of poverty and limited resources.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation supported students and teachers by providing essential safety equipment and protective supplies, ensuring education could continue despite the challenges.

NCC’s journey began with support for Sagarmatha Basic School. After its success, the foundation expanded to Jana Dibya Basic School, located at a higher elevation, and more recently to Bhagawati Basic School, in an even more remote mountain area. Step by step, the foundation is working to ensure that children in Nepal’s Himalayas have access to quality education, opportunities, and hope for a brighter future.

With the support of TEA (Terre d’Espoir Armor), we never measure help by weight or volume - we believe that countless small drops together can form an ocean. The gratitude we receive from schools and villagers fills us with pride, and we are honored to share this appreciation with every member of TEA and all generous donors.

Helping in Nepal’s remote mountain regions gives us even greater motivation, strength, and energy to continue our mission. That is why Lhakpa Trekking Pvt. Ltd contributes a percentage of its profits to the foundation, standing in solidarity with these efforts.

We value the presence of tourists not only for the success of Lhakpa Trekking Pvt. Ltd, but also because their support helps provide quality education, women’s empowerment, and opportunities for remote communities to connect with the modern world and the 21st century of technology.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, NCC also played a vital role in keeping students safe by providing protective supplies and supporting schools in maintaining healthy learning environments.

Thanks to TEA’s ongoing partnership, NCC has made a meaningful impact. Later, Mingmar founded Lhakpa Trekking and chose to dedicate part of its earnings to support NCC’s mission, helping the organisation reach even more children and communities in need.

Beyond education, NCC is also deeply involved in community development. Its activities include raising social awareness, organizing free health camps in remote villages, distributing warm clothing and winter gear to students, and creating an environment where education and personal growth can thrive

Nepal Care Concern (NCC) is a non-profit organisation established in 2015, officially registered under Nepal’s Company Act 2063, and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council (SWC) and PAN tax authority. NCC focuses on school rehabilitation, improving education quality, and reducing school dropout rates in remote mountain regions of Nepal.
