Diverse …
… is the everyday life of the girls. In addition to school, where they achieve good results, they bake, celebrate and do handicrafts. As a balance, there is also exercise and meditation in nature. The aim is for the girls to learn good routines for their lives. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the girls.

One of the best farms…
…in Ghunsa, Solukhumbu seen from the air. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the farms.

Basic information …
… on organic vegetable growing is taught to the girls at the hostel by our expert. A cultivation and work plan hangs in the kitchen, so the girls always know what they have to do in the garden. We would like to thank the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the hostel.

End of school …
… is a reason for everyone to celebrate. The girls at the hostel have also completed their exams for year 11 and 12. The results for year 11 are already in and all the girls have passed. Our warmest congratulations. Many thanks also to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the girls.

Passing on knowledge …
… is a major concern for the women who carried out intensive training on the management of cooperatives in Kathmandu. Some specialised topics were passed on to a larger group in a training course in Chyangsar. Representatives of the authorities were also invited and were very interested. Some of them also took part and will make use of our ‘experts’ if necessary. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the women in the villages.

Only your own …
.. Vegetables were eaten by the girls at the hostel last year. They are getting better and better at cultivating their own garden and also enjoy processing their own vegetables. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation, whose support makes it possible for the girls to run the hostel and attend school.

We look forward…
…to taking you on a tour of a farm. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the women in organic vegetable farming.

Independently …
… some women sewed the school dresses for the girls from 3 villages. After last year’s training, this was the first time the seamstresses had worked independently. This means that the added value remains in the village and the women are happy about their remuneration. A suitable school uniform is very important for the girls to be able to go to school. Many thanks to the sponsors whose support enables the girls to go to school well equipped again.
-
Together …
… the women sell their vegetables through the cooperative to so-called ‘vegetable brokers’. This generates income for the women and for the cooperative. This sale is still supported at the beginning, especially in order to negotiate everything with the brokers and stabilise the structures. Many thanks to Fair Styria for their support.
-
Irrigation …
… is very important for higher production, which can then be sold, especially in the dry periods. Many particularly hard-working women in the four villages have received one, have been trained and can now get started. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for their support.
