… could be harvested in larger quantities for the first time in Chyangsar on the model farm. 10 kg of them were distributed to the children – they were thrilled. For many it was the first kiwi of their lives. We will grow more seedlings and distribute them to the women as well.
Many thanks to all who supported us in setting up the farm. Especially to FAIR STYRIA.
… 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.
… in Chyangsar and Ghunsa
Until now, there were only small local hydropower plants here and a photovoltaic system in Chyangsar. Now the national electricity connection is in place, which will also be able to power appliances in the future. In Chyangsar the light is already on, in Ghunsa the installations are completed and the electricity should come in the next few weeks.
We are happy for the women who will now have many more opportunities to work with simple machines.
… of the PGS training for organic vegetable production in Kunikhop was successfully attended by all women. The model farm was activated very quickly and so it was possible to show the women a lot of practical things. It was great that this training could already take place in the new training hall, as it would not have been possible outdoors due to bad weather. Unfortunately, there is no furniture yet, but the women made themselves comfortable on the floor. The team of Social Work Institute Nepal and HASERA did a great job. The women go home highly motivated with a certificate and plants.
Many thanks to Schöck- Familien- Stiftung GmbH for financially supporting this project.
… it took in Kunikhop and a beautiful training hall could be completed in its shell. All the work was done with local materials and local labour. How great – this way all the added value stays in the village. There is also a lot going on in the greenhouse and in the field.
Many thanks to the Schoeck-Familien-Stiftung, which is providing significant support for this project.
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.
… of all the activities of Roots for Life was given by Carola Gosch at a charity event. A video of the interview with a summary of the great work of Roots for Life has also been created – take a look.
Many thanks to Martina Pophal for the great moderation.

… the women from Merangding and Kunikhop were very happy about the generous donation of the company Konrath Neunkirchen https://www.facebook.com/GartencenterKonrath/ With the 15 automatic window openers the large greenhouses can be operated safely and mold can be avoided.
Many thanks to the company Konrath in the name of the cooperative.
… are the results of our organic seed donation from the company ReinSaat , which Lena Kremser organized for us. So we could try many new varieties of vegetables and distribute proven ones already to the women.
Many thanks to ReinSaat and Lena Kremser, who have thus made a significant contribution to vegetable diversity.
… was this year’s Food Festival in Kunikhop with the opening of the greenhouse on the model farm. For the first time, the women proudly exhibited their local vegetables.
The women of the cooperative also had a lot of fun dancing with the guests.
Many thanks to the Schöck Familien Stiftung!
