… is also held in Nepal as soon as the roof truss is finished. Piece by piece the wood and stones were carried to the building site in Merangding and the training hall was built. Due to the strong price increases it took longer and a lot of voluntary work had to be done.
We are proud of the women’s initiative and look forward to great training sessions in the hall. Of course, the completion had to be celebrated.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for the great support of this project.
… Carola Gosch initiated a strategy day with all leading women of the cooperative and the entire team. Questions such as “what were our successes in 2022” and “what are our plans for 2023 and what do we need to achieve them” were discussed very intensively and then presented. Experiences were exchanged, insights gained, but also a lot of laughter and energy built up for the next steps.
We would like to thank all the supporters of the projects whose success we were able to celebrate here. Especially Fair Styria and Schöck-Familien-Stiftung make this sustainable development possible.
…for the Sagarmatha Milijuli Mahila Cooperative. For the first time, all 4 villages are represented and can decide together on the projects. Over 200 women came, the atmosphere was great. There were not only presentations and discussions but also eating, gossiping and dancing.
We would like to thank all the supporters who believed in and supported the development of the cooperative. Especially Fair Styria and Schoeck-Familien-Stiftung have financed trainings of the cooperative again and again.

Many thanks to all who supported us in setting up the farm. Especially to FAIR STYRIA.

Many thanks to our sponsors, without whom all this would not be possible.
… the women in Merangding have learned quickly. Already in the first “project winter” they use the greenhouses not only for winter vegetables but also for drying maize. They can really be proud of themselves.
Many thanks to Fair Styria, only through the continuous support of these initiatives are such quick successes possible.
… is being built above the model farm in Ghunsa. The cooperative has bought another piece of land here, where there is a large greenhouse and outdoor space. Here, local rootstocks are grown from seeds, which can then also be grafted and sold.
We are already very curious to see whether a sustainable contribution to income generation and food diversity will succeed here as well.
Many thanks to Chay Ya for supporting the launch of this initiative.
… before winter, Carola Gosch brings the great self-knitted socks of Lena Kremser and her knitting troupe to Merangding and Ghunsa. The fun is great when the socks are chosen and put on to match the clothes.
