The Challis Family

A family shaped by horsemanship and enterprise across generations — and guided today by a commitment to charitable giving in Nepal and beyond.

Charitable giving

At the heart of the family's work is a quiet commitment to giving — supporting education, opportunity and community where it is needed most.

The family's charitable focus centres on Nepal, supporting schooling and community projects in mountain villages, alongside causes elsewhere around the world. The belief is simple: lasting change begins with education and dignity.
