… 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.
… 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.
… 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.
… 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.
… the women in Ghunsa can now produce themselves with their composting toilets. However, correct use is an important prerequisite, so in addition to training, there is also a poster to “look up” for each toilet ? .
After use, liquid can be used immediately, solid can be used for agriculture after 6 months of proper composting.
One of our women in Ghunsa has been doing this since we tested the first prototype and already has fertile compost. So the others can learn from her too.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for funding the toilets.
… also means for us to ensure that the projects in the villages can continue without external help. Three girls from the first college course are now training to become social workers at the Social Work Institute – Kathmandu. This will enable them to take on many important tasks in the villages.
We are very happy and wish them interesting experiences in their training.
Many thanks to all the sponsors, only through their support could the girls come this far, as well as to the Social Work Institute, which also awarded scholarships for the girls.
Together at last …
… our girls can live in Sallerie from autumn. For the 11th and 12th grade they cannot stay in the villages, the walk to school would simply be too long with more than 4 hours. So far we have only been able to rent individual rooms, now they can live here together and we hope to be able to run the lower 2 floors as a hostel in the longer term.
We are currently working intensively on the financing for this.
Many thanks to the sponsors who have accompanied the girls until the end of grade 10. We hope to get more support for the higher education which is starting well.
… 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.
… with our girls when they have completed grade 12? Together we discuss, explain and weigh the possibilities. We hope that we will be able to find and finance a good further education for at least some of the girls.
Many thanks to all the sponsors who make this possible and we hope that some more will join us.
… our film about the model farm in Ghunsa is ready.
Congratulations to the Sagarmatha Milijuli Mahila Cooperative, Social Work Institute and HASERA for the great results. It was and is a pleasure to work with the women of Ghunsa ? .
Many thanks to Chay-Ya Austria for the joint handling and to Land Vorarlberg for the financial support.
