The Joshi Trust Partnership
At Maya Trips, professionally managed tourism is not just about exploring beautiful landscapes—it is an active investment in the people who call them home. Every journey you take directly builds resilience, education, and career pathways in the remote corners of the Himalayas.
Make an ImpactOur Foundation for Lasting Impact
The Joshi Trust is the dedicated, not-for-profit program of Suvidha Holding. Fully recognized as a registered member of the Social Welfare Council (SWC), Nepal, the Trust operates with complete financial integrity, regulatory transparency, and a localized approach to sustainable regional development.
Instead of temporary, short-term charity, the partnership focuses on two foundational pillars:
Education
Breaking systemic barriers by funding scholarships, improving classroom environments, and providing essential materials to underserved government schools.
Employability
Developing structured skill-building and vocational training frameworks that bridge the gap between remote village life and formal, dignified career opportunities.
On the Ground: School Sponsorship in Bajhang
Our initial efforts are focused on reaching schools in Bajhang and Bajura, two districts in Far-West Nepal. As we continue this journey, we aim to expand our outreach to other parts of Nepal where educational needs are high. Due to challenging terrain and limited resources, many students in these remote regions face difficulties accessing consistent, quality education.
What Your Sponsorship Covers
Through the Joshi Trust framework, our initiatives in Bajhang and Bajura focus on supporting students and improving access to education, with plans to expand to other underserved regions of Nepal.
| Impact Area | Provided Deliverables & Support |
|---|---|
| Direct Scholarships | Full tuition assistance, school uniforms, footwear, and comprehensive textbooks/stationery for the academic year. |
| School Support | Working with schools and communities to identify needs and provide meaningful educational support. |
| Retention Support | Working directly with local educators to monitor attendance, reduce dropout rates, and provide specialized career-readiness guidance. |

How Your Journey Creates Change
We build social contribution directly into our operational DNA. You do not need to do anything extra to make a difference—the moment you book a journey, the impact begins.
1. Built-In Trip Contributions
Every single booking made with Maya Trips contributes a designated portion of the trip proceeds directly to the Joshi Trust’s educational funds in Bajhang. When you walk these high-altitude trails, your footsteps are directly translating into funded school days, textbooks, and local classroom resources.
2. Direct Guest Contributions
For guests who feel a deeper connection to the region and wish to amplify their personal footprint, we offer a direct, fully transparent channel to contribute an additional amount of your choice.
100% Transparency Guarantee: Because the Joshi Trust operates under strict Social Welfare Council regulations and shares our parent group’s compliance standards, 100% of your optional contribution goes directly to field operations, student resources, and school infrastructure in Bajhang. No administrative middle-layers.
