… 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!
… are the changes that have happened in Ghunsa in the last 3 years. A model farm with greenhouses, water storage, training hall, solar dryer as well as many great mixed culture vegetable beds has been built.
This has laid the foundation for sustainable development of the village.
All this was possible through the financial support of Unser Vorarlberg and the cooperation with Chay-ya.
… are the women in Merangding about the greenhouse on the model farm. Here, plants are already pre-bred and can then be released in the private farms. At the opening there were again seeds from Austria and other useful little things for the women.
Many thanks to Fair Styria, who support this project financially.
.. 400 km, some days on the back of donkeys these organically grown seed potatoes were brought to Samagaun Gorkha, in the west of Nepal. Here the climate is similar to Solukhumbu and there is also a lot of enthusiasm for organically grown produce.
It is especially great when women in Solu now send their seed potatoes to women in Gorkha to support organic farming there. We wish good thriving and are happy.
Many thanks to the Sagarmatha Milijuli Mahila Cooperative for the good work and Fair Styria as well as Land Vorarlberg for supporting the projects in Chyangsar and Ghunsa.
Special thanks also to the cooperation partners in Gorkha Tergar Charity Nepal, Jhigme Lama
… in Chyangsar is becoming more and more professional. Accurate accounting of the different varieties as well as their yields, own seeds and labeling until the harvest, bring joy to learning. Thus, local chilies are compared with those brought by Carola Gosch – we are curious to see who will win the race. It is important to know that chili is one of the staple foods in Nepal and is used for almost every dish.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for the great support, which is essential for the operation of the farm.
… is always the journey to Solukhumbu, to the villages. This time it was about 11 hours for 220 km! The bridges are under construction for 7 years, the landslides keep spilling parts of the roads and this year we also had to grind the brakes and install a headrest on the way there. On the way is @Hasera, our permaculture partner – a bright spot on the trip. Good food and a beautiful, inspiring environment. Thanks for that ?
… can hardly wait to apply the knowledge gained from the first training sessions and what they have seen in the other villages at home. The material can be brought as far as the street, where it is divided up and collected by the women. They then walk up to two hours with it to their houses, happy about the important tools and their new task.
Many thanks especially to Fair Styria, which thus extends the success of Chyangsar to another village.
… on the model farm has now begun in a flash. The experience of the other villages is very supportive here. The stations for the preparation of the plants were set up perfectly and the seeds from the project were sown immediately. The women brought wood from home, with which the beds in the greenhouse were lovingly constructed. The joy of everyone is great.
This was made possible above all by the support of the Schöck Familienstiftung.
… also in Kunikhop. In the new greenhouse everything is explained so that the women can build their own greenhouses. Also for all other activities the material has now been distributed. We are excited about the first season.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation, which supports this project significantly.
