Today, everyone at MountainChild is taking a moment to honor mothers - some who are enjoying quality time with their children and others, who at this very moment are wondering where their daughter or son may be. 

“A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.” Victor Hugo

There are children in the Himalayas that are yearning to run back into and sleep in the arms of their mother tonight. Please Join forces with us to end human trafficking in Nepal so that every child can once again sleep soundly in the arms of their mother.

CORE ISSUE 5 - ENVIRONMENT

Deforestation is a particular concern in the western Himalayas where increased demand for firewood, extensive tree trimming in order to feed livestock, and construction of roads in the border regions have increased the destruction rate of forests and the number of landslides.

Some of the problems from deforestation in Nepal include accelerated soil erosion, rain water runoff, increasing incidence of landslides, siltation and pollution of water bodies, drying up of springs, degradation of forests, scarcity of fodder and fuel wood, overgrazing, forest fires, alterations in wildlife habitats and wildlife attacks, low crop yield, increasing wastelands and invasion of alien weeds, eroding biodiversity, and shifting cultivation.

A GREAT BIG thank you and congratulations to Michelle Karmazin Chamberlain for running her first half marathon to raise support and awareness for MountainChild’s Core Issue 2 - Trafficking. Your perseverance will help CARRY HOPE to those who so desperately need it! 

Michelle’s efforts are longstanding with MountainChild. She and her husband raised money for the newest RANCH in Jumla for their 40th anniversary and to top it off, she also runs a bookstore in California, of which all proceeds go toward our efforts in the Himalayas. 

We are so proud of you and grateful for you Michelle!

CORE ISSUE 5 - ENVIRONMENT

Soil erodes 56 times faster in the Himalayas.

Results provided by running a soil erosion assessment model show that annual soil loss rates are the highest in the areas with rain-fed cultivation, which is directly related to the sloping nature of the terraces.

CORE ISSUE 5 - ENVIRONMENT

Few crops grow in the high altitudes and stony soil of the Himalayas, and those that do take twice as long to reach harvest stage. Incessant rains, landslides, and out-dated farming techniques result in severe crop loss.
