In spring 2014 an ice cliff fell from a hanging glacier on the West Shoulder of Everest; it killed 16 Sherpas climbing the Khumbu Icefall. One of those Sherpas was Pasang Karma who was working for Jagged Globe at the time. Alongside Pasang, 6 other members of the Jagged Globe Sherpa team were injured. Sherpa Aid was initially set up to help the family of Pasang. It now helps other mountain workers injured, ill or unable to work, as well as the families of mountain workers who have sadly died working in the mountains, irrespective of who they were working for. In the years 2019 - 2024 US$40,000 has been donated by Sherpa Aid.
