… are the basis for sustainability. That is why we are particularly pleased that after the prototype phase, the first composting toilets are now being implemented in Ghunsa. For this to work, a lot of training is needed for the construction and use of the toilets. We think it’s great that the women can then use the compost as fertiliser for growing vegetables.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for supporting this project.
.. what the women in Kunikhop have achieved in less than 2 years. The founding of a cooperative was followed by a long search for a suitable area and its purchase. With a lot of effort, the area was prepared, a greenhouse and a training hall were built, and sample fields with new vegetables were planted.
The women can be very proud of themselves.
Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for the financial support of this project.
… the initiative to support species-appropriate stables and loans for the purchase of animals has developed further. In self-administration of the cooperative, small loans are granted and paid back by the women so that the next ones can receive support.
These activities no longer need to be supported externally. Many thanks to all who have made the development possible.
… 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.

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 also to Kusang Tamang for the energetic implementation. Once again an element could be implemented according to permacultural principles. We hope to see more fences like this in the region.
… 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.
