Quick help ..
.. was also important now. We still hope for many donations to be able to finance everything. But we had to start buying the material for the health posts in the villages. Our great local partners in Kathmandu organised everything and with the help of the local government in Solududhkunda it could already be transported despite the lockdown. The women of the cooperative also actively helped and sewed washable sanitary pads for staff and patients in the Covid wards at no cost. We hope that these activities will minimise the impact of the pandemic on the villages. A big THANK YOU to all who have already donated and a big…

Help for the villages ..
… is being created in Sallery, where a care centre with beds is being built. In order to provide good care for the more than 20,000 people in the villages, which are spread over more than 500 km2 , we want to work together with the local government to supply this centre and the approximately 10 existing health posts with medically necessary material. The way to a hospital (there are only 2 small ones) or to the centre is too far for many and often only possible on foot. We hope for your help and donations under AT04 5800 0205 9987 3016. Many thanks!

Helping to shape ..
.. the girls from Ghunsa are allowed the support that our sponsors make possible. They are encouraged to stand up for their needs and talk about their challenges. For specific topics, we then also organise experts who can give them important information. This allows us to supplement the education they receive at school significantly. We are proud of how actively they shape their future together with us. Many thanks to our sponsors for their long-term support.

Hopeful plans ..
.. the women from Meranding are making plans with our partner Racedi Pathak. They also want to learn more about organic vegetable cultivation and increase the diversity of their food with greenhouses. We are still hoping for financial support through grants. In any case, we will make sure that they can be trained together with the women in the other villages and are prepared to implement some things already this season. Many thanks to all who support us.

Also in Meranding ..
.. the women are very interested in organic vegetable cultivation after the joint sewing project. The village lies on the route between Chyangsar and Ghunsa, so the women have been following the initiative for a long time and have already taken part in one or the other information event. For us, the active participation of the women is a basic requirement for any project. In a first assessment, expectations, areas and possibilities have already been sighted and a project application has been submitted to @Fair Styria. Now we have to keep our fingers crossed.

An organic map ..
.. with all the women participating in the certification programme was created together. This also allows the personal visits to be well prepared and documented. The women proudly show what they have already implemented and our agricultural expert discusses the next steps. Many thanks to Fair Styria, who embarked on this new path together with us and supported it financially in the long term.

Kathmandu – Scholarships
In some cases, girls had to move from the villages to Kathmandu, either temporarily or long-term, for security reasons or to continue their school education. Here our support extends to the following areas: School fees for currently one girl who lives in a boarding school Material for school and occasionally hygiene articles are provided for four girls in Kathmandu. Material on a case-by-case basis for the approximately 50 girls at Raksha Nepal Food for the families in Kathmandu was especially important during the lockdown, as many families lost their income. Individual support for these girls has also been provided in part by Carola Gosch herself since 2013. By now, there…

School starts ..
.. in April/May in Nepal and our students should be well prepared for this. In Kathmandu the schools are closed again due to the lockdown, we hope they will stay open in the villages. In any case, we wish everyone a successful school year. Many thanks to all our sponsors and private donors who stand behind the scholarship holders.

Fewer coughs ..
.. and colds were seen in the villages this winter. The reason for this is the masks worn by the women, especially on cold days when working outdoors. The masks also do a good job of protecting the lungs against the smoke in families where cooking is still done on an open fire in the house. We are happy that we can contribute something to the health of the population in the villages. Many thanks to the province of Vorarlberg and Chay-ya Austria without whose financial support this project would not have been possible.

Masks for all ..
.. are now distributed in the villages of Chyangsar, Ghunsa, Meranding and Kunikhop. The children in the schools have also been equipped with them. Now we can only hope that these will help to keep infection rates low in the villages. The masks are also used to protect against dust, which is raised by the few vehicles on the bad roads, and against smoke in the houses. Finally, we would like to thank the province of Vorarlberg and Chay-Ya Austria, who have supported this project to a large extent.
