  • The girls…

    The girls…

    … are strengthened through joint activities. It is important to strengthen their self-esteem and self-confidence in order to protect them from assault. They have a lot of fun identifying their strengths and can talk about sensitive issues.

    Many thanks to our patrons who make this empowerment possible.

    … together they can master difficult situations
    .. Building trust and talking about themselves is not easy for the girls
    .. their strengths are put down on paper in a playful way
    .. for some of them it is new and not easy to reveal something about themselves.

    … at the end they are all very proud of their results – their strengths.

    In front of the curtain …

    … we would like to call on our farm supervisor Jaya Laxmi Magar ? today. Since she has been running the farm, we can see what has already been learned and what is possible. The pre-breeding in the greenhouse has worked out great and already in June she can proudly sell the harvest. External customers still have little chance, the vegetables go to friends of the farm who are only too happy to buy them.

    We thank Jaya Laxmi Magar for her great work.

    Many thanks also to all those who have supported the establishment of the model farm in Chyangsar over the past years and ensure its ongoing operation. Especially Fair Styria and the Schöck Family Foundation.

    .. Broccoli – a new vegetable for the region that is doing very well

    .. Cauliflower – was known but not grown – now very much in demand

  • Farmers field school ..

    Farmers field school ..

    We are proud of the women who give their best to learn a lot.

    Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this programme in all four villages.

    … some can take notes, others have fun.

  • What happens next …

    The wood …

    … in Chyangsar also needs care. All wooden parts of the training hall were impregnated with a good oil so that they will last for a long time.

  • Suicide …

    … is still the most common cause of death for Nepali women aged 15 to 49.

    Faced with physical and physical violence, they often have no one they can trust to help them.

    Now it has hit one of our girls in the village, at the age of 13 she did not know what to do.

    We are shocked and grieve with the family. In any case, we will intensify our activities and do everything possible to avoid fates like this in the future.

    to avoid fates like this in the future.

    We will not forget our girl.

  • Sustainable …

    Sustainable …

    … means for us to make the women as independent as possible in the future. Thus, the training on seed production in Chyangsar is also an essential part. All findings are also accurately recorded in order to learn from them. More and more new vegetables can be grown and distributed.

    We are proud of the women who are always ready to learn new things.

    Many thanks to Fair Styria for setting up the model farm and to Schoeck Family Foundation for the ongoing support of the trainings.

Experiences were exchanged, insights gained, but also a lot of laughter and energy built up for the next steps.
