… is a reason for everyone to celebrate. The girls at the hostel have also completed their exams for year 11 and 12. The results for year 11 are already in and all the girls have passed.
Our warmest congratulations.
Many thanks also to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the girls.
… is a major concern for the women who carried out intensive training on the management of cooperatives in Kathmandu.
Some specialised topics were passed on to a larger group in a training course in Chyangsar. Representatives of the authorities were also invited and were very interested. Some of them also took part and will make use of our ‘experts’ if necessary.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the women in the villages.
.. Vegetables were eaten by the girls at the hostel last year. They are getting better and better at cultivating their own garden and also enjoy processing their own vegetables.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation, whose support makes it possible for the girls to run the hostel and attend school.
…to taking you on a tour of a farm.

… some women sewed the school dresses for the girls from 3 villages. After last year’s training, this was the first time the seamstresses had worked independently.
This means that the added value remains in the village and the women are happy about their remuneration. A suitable school uniform is very important for the girls to be able to go to school.
Many thanks to the sponsors whose support enables the girls to go to school well equipped again.
… the women sell their vegetables through the cooperative to so-called ‘vegetable brokers’. This generates income for the women and for the cooperative.
This sale is still supported at the beginning, especially in order to negotiate everything with the brokers and stabilise the structures.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for their support.
… is very important for higher production, which can then be sold, especially in the dry periods. Many particularly hard-working women in the four villages have received one, have been trained and can now get started.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for their support.
.. the girls in Pokhara are looked after. Both in the children’s home and in the mentoring programme, the girls receive health care, are supported in their school attendance and the older ones receive vocational training to earn an income for themselves.
Many thanks to the sponsors who make this support possible.
… of the cooperative, the members of the boards received further intensive training in accounting and management. All four villages sent their managers to Kathmandu. Based on their own documents, they were able to work on how to prepare the books, especially for the audit.
For the women, this is very unfamiliar work, which they have already been practising over the past few years with support. By the end of the year, they should be able to do this all by themselves.
We wish them the best of luck.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the sustainable empowerment of women.
… are people in Nepal who have a sound education in the field of social work. We are therefore particularly pleased that Asmita from Merangding has decided to study this at a college in Kathmandu. She would like to work in an NGO later on to improve the situation of people in Nepal.
She is very concerned about the financial burden on her parents, who also have to make their contribution in addition to the great sponsors.
Many thanks to the sponsors who make this study programme possible and also to the parents who – as with all scholarship holders – make their financial and emotional contribution.
