With our vehicles, we transport sick children and adults to doctors or hospitals in Skardu. We have saved many lives by ensuring timely treatment.
In the past, many young children in the mountain villages died from pneumonia because there were no medications, let alone a hospital. Although child mortality is still high today, it is not as high as it once was, as there is now the possibility of transporting a child to a hospital or bringing medications to the villages.
The 2025 annual report will be available here shortly.
The review of 25 years of Karakoram Aid will be available here shortly.
Once again, the widely traveled geography teacher Eduard Spielbauer supported the Karakoram Aid Initiative with a benefit lecture. On November 26, 2025, he spoke about his experiences in sub-Saharan Africa.
Many thanks for his commitment.
For the second time, development aid worker Antonie Lindner from Neuhofen was able to enlist Chiemgau filmmaker Stefan Erdmann for a benefit event. With his impressive documentary on Iceland, he took the audience on a journey through spectacular landscapes.
The proceeds from the evening at the Sparkasse Eggenfelden’s event hall will benefit the children in the mountain villages of the Braldo Valley—a heartfelt project that Antonie Lindner has been supporting with great dedication for several years.
We deeply regret the death of Laura Dahlmeier, who lost her life due to rockfall while attempting to climb Leila Peak in the Karakoram. Her expedition was organized by Shipton Treks & Tours, an agency founded by us as a self-help project of the Karakoram Aid Initiative.
The photo was taken shortly before the group set off for the Baltoro Glacier. Laura is on the far left, Rasool in the center of the image.
