Our partners
In setting up this organisation, we have been given the unstinting support of the
The University of Southampton GeoData Institute.
The Glacier Trust works in partnership to fund capacity building in the community with NGOs, who already have strong local and regional networks and who are well placed to listen to the needs of the communities.
Among those we are already working with, and also hope to work with in future are:
Himalayan Community Development Forum (HICODEF) Nawalparasi, Nepal
