  • In Nepal…

    In Nepal…

    … the ban on 26 social media platforms has awakened a generation. Thousands of young people protested against corruption, inequality and an old elite, some of whose representatives have been in power for over 10 years. Every day, around 2,000 young Nepalese leave the country because they have no prospects. But many want to stay, raise their voices and change the country.

    There is now a transitional government that is supposed to organise new elections.

    We wish them all the best and hope that our projects can also contribute to this.

    Many thanks to all our supporters who have made this work possible for over 10 years.

    .. these girls need prospects in their own country
    .. education is the most important tool for dealing with difficult situations
    .. girls have a right to a good life in their own country

    .. ‘building bridges’ – in studies, in everyday life, in politics

  • As every year…

    As every year…

    …school supplies were distributed to children in all villages. This means that nothing stands in the way of a successful next school year.

    We wish the girls all the best.

    Many thanks to our sponsors who support our girls.

    Diverse …

    … is the everyday life of the girls. In addition to school, where they achieve good results, they bake, celebrate and do handicrafts. As a balance, there is also exercise and meditation in nature.

    The aim is for the girls to learn good routines for their lives.

    Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the girls.

  • Independently …

    Independently …

    … 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.

    Particularly important …

    … 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.
