Nepal… but why?
The project and the association did not start from a wish to support one country in particular, but from a broader goal: promoting access to sport and education.
From the outset, the scope was deliberately open and without borders. This first founding project could just as well have started in Africa, Latin America or elsewhere, as the goal is universal. This openness still guides the spirit and work of What's Life Project today.
Why Nepal?
This mountainous country naturally stood out as the obvious choice for a project centred on trail running.
Its powerful image — a land of legendary ascents, dizzying peaks and epic expeditions — holds a special appeal for someone like me who loves mountains and wide open spaces.
Starting our first mission here made perfect sense: in a place where thousands of enthusiasts come every year for the sporting challenge of a lifetime, much of the local population still has no access to sport and education.
The contrast is striking, and the message all the stronger.

Our first research and meeting the local association Namaste Sailung confirmed it: this country was the right starting point to bring the What's Life Project vision to life.
