The 14 Basecamps Project originated from a family’s hiking holiday in Kyrgyzstan, where they encountered a nomadic girl lacking educational access. Inspired by her story and the film “14 Peaks,” they sought to combine adventure with philanthropy. Through the Nimsdai Foundation, they’ve commenced fundraising to support children’s education in remote areas, aiming for lasting impact.
