Again and again …
… Christoph Galik plays in various constellations for the Roots for Life projects. We are very grateful to him for his support over the years.

In Kathmandu…
… some girls from the villages are completing their secondary education with the support of our sponsors. Afterwards, they even have the opportunity to attend university or complete other vocational training. First, however, there is a meeting with pizza and chatting as well as a small shopping trip for everyone. Many thanks to all our sponsors, without you none of this would be possible.

The PGS…
… or Farmers Field School certification is taken very seriously. The women’s knowledge is lovingly prepared and tested in all villages after the annual training programme. Insects have to be identified, their benefits or harm and how to deal with them known. Fortunately, everyone passed and will receive their certificate 🙂 – congratulations. Many thanks to @schöck for their support in making these programmes possible.

In many kitchens..
… it will be much warmer in Merangding this winter. As this space is often also the living and sleeping area, everyone is happy to be able to keep the window bars closed when cooking. The new ovens have a chimney pipe and no longer spread the smoke around the room. This also significantly increases safety for the children. Many thanks to Fair Styria, who responded flexibly to our needs.
-
Vitamins for the winter …
… were given to the children in Chyangsar when the apples from the apple orchard were distributed. At over 80 years old, Lage Maya has looked after the apple trees wonderfully and can be proud of the harvest. Many thanks to all those involved in setting up the apple farm.
-
Dried vegetables and herbs…
… are prepared for marketing in Chyangsar and Ghunsa. Whether traditionally or in the Solar Dryer, dried goods can be transported more easily and without time pressure. Dried vegetables, also as traditional pickles and tea are 2 good options. Many thanks to Fair Styria for supporting the cooperative on its way to commercialisation.

Permaculture design…
… is what our scholarship holder Ramita learnt during her internship on the Hasera farm and presented in English to the international group. We are very proud of her and thank our sponsors for their support.

Very special results …
… have been achieved by these two women in Ghunsa. Once they grew grapes in the greenhouse and harvested over 40 kg. A great addition to the menu. In the meantime, the cuttings are already being sold. Great results have also been achieved with the compost from the composting toilet. Some of the women are still “reluctant”, but the great harvest will convince them 🙂 Many thanks to Fair Styria for the compost toilets and to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the women farmers.

Unbelievable …
… what the girls and the team have done with the rented hostel in Sallerie in just a few days. The rooms are bright and clean, a perfect environment to learn well. Further adjustments will be discussed and planned together in autumn. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this important initiative.

Happy …
… the women in Kunikhop are also happy about the compost toilets. Especially in this village, it was very important to us to improve the sanitary conditions. In addition, agriculture is benefiting. We are looking forward to the great results. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for the construction and continuous support of the model farm.
