Korphe (Balti: ཀོརྰེ་, Urdu: کورپھے) is a small subsistence farming village in northeastern Pakistan, situated at the foot of the Karakoram mountain range along the banks of the Braldu River. Korphe has achieved international attention because of the work carried out by mountaineer Greg Mortenson and his Central Asia Institute (CAI) which specializes in raising money from all over the world in order to provide good quality schooling for the children of Korphe and similar villages throughout the region, including Afghanistan. How this came to pass has been extensively documented in the book Three Cups of Tea written by Mortenson and journalist David Oliver Relin and the Young Readers edition of Three Cups of Tea adapted by Sarah Thomson.

has abstract
  • Korphe ist ein kleines ländliches Dorf in der zu Gilgit-Baltistan gehörenden Baltistan-Division im Norden von Pakistan, das sich im Karakorum, das an den Ufern des Flusses Braldu im befindet. Das Dorf liegt zwischen dem Dorf Askole und dem K2, dem zweithöchsten Berg der Erde. Das Dorf ist insofern von allgemeinen Interesse, als es eine Dorfschule hat, die von den Central Asia Institute (CAI) errichtet wurde. Die CAI fördert in entlegenen Gegenden von Pakistan und Afghanistan die Gründung und den Bau von Schulen, wenn die Dorfgemeinschaft zusichert, dass mindestens zehn Prozent aller Dorfmädchen zur Schule gehen. Des Weiteren wurde eine spektakuläre Hängebrücke über den Baldru-Fluss gebaut, um weiteren Schülern umgebender Dörfer einschließlich Afghanistans einen Zugang zum Schulunterricht im Dorf zu ermöglichen. Die Schule in Korphe war die erste der 131 Schulen, die die gemeinnützige Organisation CAI seit in Pakistan 1996 aufbaute. Der Ort und die dort lebenden Menschen spielen eine Rolle in dem Buch Three Cups of Tea des Bergsteigers und Mitgründer der CAI, der zuvor den K2 erstieg, weil er den Tod seiner Schwester vergessen wollte. Am K2 wurde er schwer krank und zwei Träger brachten ihn in ihr Haus nach Korphe, wo er die Not der Bevölkerung und eine Schulklasse mit zahlreichen Kindern ohne Lehrer und Schulhaus sah, da das Dorf den einen Dollar je Tag für einen Lehrer und für den Schulbau nicht aufbringen konnte.
