• With confidence…

    …the girls at the OVN Children’s Home are fighting to continue their education after compulsory schooling. In the autumn, the possibilities and requirements were discussed; this year, a pilot project will be launched. Workshops with the girls will aim to highlight options that match their interests and abilities. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation; their trust and financial support are making it possible to explore new avenues.

  • In the long term..

    … agriculture can only be sustainable, if it uses its own seeds. We are delighted that the women are actively processing their own organic seeds and exchanging them amongst themselves. Special varieties are also preserved on the model farms. Many thanks to Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the model farms.

  • Standing up for themselves…

    ..is something the girls at OVN learn from a very early age. They also carry themselves with confidence in public and stand up for their rights. We are proud of them and hope to actively shape their future in 2026 with the new workshops. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the training initiative!

  • Independently ..

    .. and with confidence, the women in the village sell their organic vegetables, including through brokers. The women in the village also manage the organic cultivation themselves. Many thanks to Fair Styria for supporting the marketing and to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the model farms.
