Important for the winter…
…were the warm jackets, which were able to be handed out as early as autumn. Life without heating can get quite chilly in Nepal during the winter, so the jackets come in very handy 🙂. Many thanks to all the sponsors who make this support possible.

Every new group ..
.. of girls at the hostel completes the computer course so that they can use computers in Years 11 and 12. The girls are proud, and these skills will certainly help them in life. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the hostel in Sallerie.

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.

Conferences …
…and supporting young students are part of our scholarship holder Binu’s student life. She is already in her third year and is looking forward to applying her knowledge of earthquake-proof construction herself in the future. Many thanks to SI Vienna Vivata for supporting Binu.

Asmita..
.. plays a central role in the cooperative, primarily coordinating joint marketing activities. It is not always easy to motivate the women in the four villages to work together on their future. In any case, we are very impressed by how much she has developed personally in recent years. Many thanks to Fair Styria for supporting marketing in the villages.

Important for everyone…
…are the regular discussions with the scholarship holders and their mothers. It is a new situation for everyone that the girls are continuing their education after Year 12 and thus taking control of their lives. It is not always easy for parents to support their daughters financially, but together we have always found a good way forward. Many thanks to our sponsors, without whom the girls would not be able to follow this path.
