For almost 7 years …
… the girls from Raksha Nepal have been living in the renovated rooms in Kathmandu. It is unbelievable how they are overcoming their fates and finding their way back to themselves thanks to the good care and the “healthy” environment. They keep reminding themselves of important things on self-designed posters until this becomes part of their thinking. We are always happy to be able to support them and are touched by their joy at our visit. Thank you to all the supporters of Roots for Life who make this work possible.

Shopping …
… is something very special for the girls, especially before the big autumn holidays. There are currently over 20 girls in the final classes for the higher school-leaving certificate. This programme, which started 3 years ago, is a great success in the villages. Most of them attend the school in Sallerie and live in the hostel, but some also live in Kathmandu and Pokhara. We maintain close contact with all of them and also celebrate and shop for the festivals. We would like to thank our sponsors for their loyal support and are always happy to hear from new ones at office@rootsforlife.info.

Climate change …
… in Nepal can be seen, among other things, in heavy rainfall at times when it should have been dry for a long time. This not only makes harvesting much more difficult, our Food Festival was also significantly affected. Nevertheless, it took place and a further 60 women were certified as organic farmers in Kunikhop. During the ceremony, the men cooked for everyone and the rain stopped just in time for the food distribution. We would like to congratulate and thank the Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this project.
