… was the survey on the mental health of the women in the four villages for the psychology team. In just a few days, all the villages were visited and various discussions were held. With this we want to give the women a space
With this, we want to give the women a space to talk to professionals, possibly ask for help or simply share their mood for change through the projects.
Many thanks to Dr Ravi Raj Timasina and his team, as well as to Racedi Pathak and Kusang Tamang for their great work.
… the women in Merangding also enjoy the PGS training. With the new great material from HASERA, connections in organic farming can be explained well. Concrete tasks are discussed in small groups and solutions are found under the supervision of the experts. First, as always, there is a training certificate that everyone is proud of, and then it’s off to the implementation in one’s own garden.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for financially supporting this project.
… we want to go with the women in the villages of Solududhkunda also with regard to toilets. At the moment, there are all kinds of options, from very rudimentary to septic tanks, far away as a rickety hut to a little stone house next to the dwelling house. In the sense of permaculture, the cycle can be closed here too and everything can be used. Taking into account local possibilities, we are working on a prototype that works with wooden floors. This should not only support agriculture, but also improve the situation for the women.
Many thanks at this point especially to HASERA, with whom we have already tested a lot.
Now we hope for financial support so that the first 50 households can be equipped with composting toilets.
the women in Merangding have transformed the model farm into a green oasis. The greenhouse was officially opened in March and the first plants were still small. In the meantime, the first harvest can already be harvested and home-grown plants can be sold.
We are proud of this progress that the women of the local cooperative have achieved together.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for making this project possible.

Many thanks to ReinSaat and Lena Kremser, who have thus made a significant contribution to vegetable diversity.

Many thanks to Fair Styria, who support this project financially.
