Juniper Trust

The Juniper Trust Changing Horizons

Founded in 1984, the Juniper Trust began by supporting small sustainable projects in Nepal, helping mainly children and schools with Education and Health. Since those early days, the Juniper Trust has evolved, branching out to support similar projects across the globe, in countries such as Peru, Ecuador, India, Tibet, Sri Lanka and many more. The JT focus is on sustainable projects, working alongside local people, listening to their needs and assisting in the long-term development of a community. JT projects are researched in detail with the local communities developing a mutual understanding of the area they live in and the issues they face.

Fundraising is from private donations, grant - funding, charity treks, and a variety of activities such as cycle rides and other events held throughout the year. A Committee of enthusiastic volunteers run the Juniper Trust; therefore donations are channelled directly into health and education projects. Administration costs are covered but these are minimal and represent less 10% of any money raised.
