How you can help
Here are ways you can help porters.
BECOME PART OF IPPG
IPPG has no membership. You join by donating time, effort, skills or cash! Contact your country
representative or the secretary if you can help.
MAKE A DONATION OR BECOME A SPONSOR
One-off donations are always welcome, contact your country representative or the secretary.
Or better still, join our sponsorship scheme. In some countries, donations are tax-deductible. For donations in Australia, UK and Europe, please see notes at the bottom of this page.
DONATION OF GOODS
Should you wish to contribute in the form of supplies (eg. medical supplies, medical equipment, sleeping bags, stoves,
mattresses, etc), this would also be appreciated! For donation of clothes for porters clothing banks, read the bank on the righthand side of this page.
ORGANISE A FUNDRAISER
Are you about to embark on some ‘adventure of a lifetime’? Why not ask all your friends and family
to sponsor you for it and raise a donation for IPPG? For example you could ask them to sponsor you for 1¢ / 1p a meter
climbed if you’re going up, or 10¢ /10p a kilometer if going along!
SPREAD THE WORD
Print off and disseminate any of the information on this website, in particular the guidelines
for ethical trekking. Anyone can be an activist and lobby government and media. All we ask is that you check in with your
country representative or the secretary before using IPPG's name.
