About Team Everest
We are a team of crazy people who love volunteering. We believe in the power of endless love every person has and want to tap that potential to make a difference in this world.
We believe that CHANGE is possible.
We have a dream where every person volunteers at least once a month (12/365).
We have a dream where every child gets quality education.
To make our dreams come true, Team Everest started it’s journey on August 2006. The first activity happened in a rural school, Sirumoor (Thiruvannamalai dist., TamilNadu, India). Four people contributed Rs.4000 from their first month’s salary. We used the money to buy books and uniforms for the school kids there.
What started as a small activity, has taken wings over the last ten years; Today, we are 9500 proud Volunteers touching 8,00,000 lives.
Team Everest facilities a wide spectrum of activities to create impact. Some of our initiatives includes free Rural Study Centers, Scholarship to deserving students, free English and Computer classes etc.
Our strength is our volunteers who give their time, skills and money to make a difference.
Miles to go before we sleep. Join us in our journey. Happy Volunteering!
Leadership Team






Karthee Vidhya started Team Everest in 2006 when he was 22 years old. His school education up to 10th was in a rural school, and his higher education in an urban school made him look into the difference of lifestyle people had. He had a friend in his rural school who had to work after school hours with his father fixing punctures in his cycle shop for affording his school fees and notebooks whereas on the other side there were students in the urban school who don’t even know such problems do exist in our society. They live a rather luxurious life. This difference made an impact in his life, and that is the seed for Team Everest. He worked for an IT Company for 8 years till 2014, quit his job to do full-time social work with Team Everest.
