Raksha Ascent

Would you or your business like to sponsor this year’s trek?

This October, 15–20 underprivileged girls will embark on a 7-day trek through the Himalayas—an experience designed to change the trajectory of their lives.
Throughout the journey, the girls will participate in daily workshops focused on:

- Defining success on their own terms
- Building a strong sense of identity
- Creating and maintaining healthy relationships
- Personal responsibility and self-development
- Developing confidence, resilience, and courage

By becoming a sponsor, your business will directly support their growth, empowerment, and future.

If you’d like to learn more about partnership opportunities, we’d love to connect!

As you map out your life's path,
Remember to document your journey and assess your progress along the way. It's inspiring to witness your transformation and determine if you're prepared for the challenges ahead. And it's heartwarming to look back on the stories that made you who you are.

“When I found out we were going to Mardi Himal, I looked it up online and saw there wasn’t any snow. We all started praying for snow, hoping to see it.

I felt so proud when I carried my sister’s bag, knowing I could help her. While walking, I even tried meditating—it made me feel more connected to everything around me. Along the way, I saw four of the nine colors of rhododendrons, and they were beautiful. One of the hotel hosts made me laugh; he was so funny.

On the day of the summit, I was so excited that I almost forgot to put my shoes on! That moment reminded me how important it is to spend time in nature, just like our Guru always says.

I even tried ice skating for the first time! Well, ice skating in the snow haha It was harder than I expected but so much fun!

The career development class really opened my eyes to new possibilities.
This trek gave me so much confidence—I feel like I can do anything now.

I see that I need to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.”
