Only a short time …
… it took in Kunikhop and a beautiful training hall could be completed in its shell. All the work was done with local materials and local labour. How great – this way all the added value stays in the village. There is also a lot going on in the greenhouse and in the field. Many thanks to the Schoeck-Familien-Stiftung, which is providing significant support for this project.

In a flash …
the women in Merangding have transformed the model farm into a green oasis. The greenhouse was officially opened in March and the first plants were still small. In the meantime, the first harvest can already be harvested and home-grown plants can be sold. We are proud of this progress that the women of the local cooperative have achieved together. Many thanks to Fair Styria for making this project possible.

An overview …

Challenging …
… is the work for the team in the villages of Solukhumbu. Even getting there is always a risk: the road is once again blocked for five hours after the landslide, and there are no detours. On site, the next hurdle – no infrastructure to process the day’s meetings. Then it’s outdoors, under the watchful eye of curious children, trying to catch a whiff of internet via mobile phone. The luxury here is the fresh vegetables we are supplied with at the “all-purpose headquarters”. At this point, a big thank you to the entire team for their great work.

Move …
the women were able to move their sewing machines into the converted “stable” on the model farm. In addition to a store, there is now also a bright room where the fabrics are stored. The women not only sew masks and washable sanitary napkins here, but also bags and clothes for their own use or for the local market. Although the workshop was set up as part of the project, it is already functioning completely independently under the management of the cooperative. Empowerment final š Many thanks to Fair Styria for the initial help and congratulations to theĀ Sagarmatha Milijuli Sana Kishan Mahila Krishi Sahakari Sanstha Limited for the independent work.
