Three Cups of Tea

In 1993, following a failed attempt to scale K2, mountaineer Greg Mortenson was rescued by tribal villagers in the Karakorum region of Pakistan.

Forever impacted by the kindness of these impoverished people he vowed to return their kindness by building the village of Korphe a school.

To educate girls.

Struggling to make good on his promise the Central Asia Institute was born. And the school was built.

Many more schools followed.
