… were exchanged in Kathmandu for warm jackets with the Oportunity Village (OVN). Synergies and added value are important to us, so the girls in Pokhara were able to earn money by sewing the hair bands, which are now being distributed to the women in the villages. 30 warm jackets were handed over for the girls in Pokhara.

.. girls from the villages are attending university in Kathmandu this year. The last two have signed the agreement with Roots for Life. The parents are also helping financially.

What everyone now has are greenhouses, which they can use to grow different types of vegetables.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the project.
… at the hostel are very proud of their own vegetables. They have lovingly tended their own beds and produced their own organic compost and fertiliser.

Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting the hostel.
