Allan Waldon, from Sydney, Australia, was on his trekking expedition in 2006 with a Nepalese guide Prem Khatry. The immediate need for school renovations was evident in Prem's village, Arupokhari. He knew first-hand the hardship of walking long hours each day to get to school. Even at the age of 8, he used to walk 4 hours a day down to the local market and back up to his home - such was, and still is to a great extent, the everyday story of many children of Arupokhari. Allan was moved by this grim situation that was the harsh reality of much of Nepal. The duo had already become clsoe friends, and after much brainstorming, they mulled the possibility to serve the society by establishing an organization.
From school renovations to establishing health posts, the organization would address the most pressing needs of the society. With the long term view of significantly improving the neglected remote communities of Arupokhari, Aruchanaute and Ratmate, Sambhav Nepal was conceived.
