Ana and Ana take on Ana-purna

Anasuya Ramanan is raising money for Classrooms in the Clouds
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Annapurna Base Camp · 12 April 2025

Nepal is a land of mountains: both awe inspiring peaks and the barriers that stand in the way of children’s schooling and women’s aspirations. Classrooms in the Clouds supports education in the Solukhumbu by building safe classrooms, training female teachers, and tackling gender inequality.

Story

We're testing our fitness levels / having a midlife crisis with a bit of a stroll through the Himalayas (specifically, Ana-purna Base Camp, lol, get it?) in April. Looking forward to some long, beautiful days trekking around 15km a day, whilst staring at some incredible landscapes.

Will our legs and lungs hold up at altitudes of 4000m+? Really hope so, because we've paid for the trip now.

We thought we should raise funds for a local charity whilst we do it. We're ofcourse funding our own flights and other trek expenses, so all money raised here is going directly to Classrooms in the Clouds. We've both been blessed with great educations, and wanted to help spread the love in this area. CITC stood out to us as an amazing grassroots organisation in this space:

Classrooms in the Clouds supports children in the mountainous Solukhumbu region of Nepal by building earthquake resistant classrooms, sponsoring and training teachers and running initiatives to tackle gender inequality in education. All donations are hugely appreciated and will be well spent at grassroots level, helping to improve educational outcomes and break the cycle of poverty. Read more here www.citcnepal.org
