… what the girls and the team have done with the rented hostel in Sallerie in just a few days. The rooms are bright and clean, a perfect environment to learn well.
Further adjustments will be discussed and planned together in autumn.
Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this important initiative.
… is learning a lot about permaculture theoretically and practically at Hasera. She is from Chyangsar, has been with us on scholarship since 2016 and has successfully completed grade 11 and 12 in Sallerie, as well as an agricultural college. She is doing her internship with our permaculture expert Hasera and an organic farm that produces for sale.
She is having a lot of fun and we are looking forward to her being able to use her knowledge in the villages.
Many thanks to our patrons who accompany the girls through their support over many years. Many thanks also to Hasera for providing a training place.
… also means for us to ensure that the projects in the villages can continue without external help. Three girls from the first college course are now training to become social workers at the Social Work Institute – Kathmandu. This will enable them to take on many important tasks in the villages.
We are very happy and wish them interesting experiences in their training.
Many thanks to all the sponsors, only through their support could the girls come this far, as well as to the Social Work Institute, which also awarded scholarships for the girls.
Together at last …
… our girls can live in Sallerie from autumn. For the 11th and 12th grade they cannot stay in the villages, the walk to school would simply be too long with more than 4 hours. So far we have only been able to rent individual rooms, now they can live here together and we hope to be able to run the lower 2 floors as a hostel in the longer term.
We are currently working intensively on the financing for this.
Many thanks to the sponsors who have accompanied the girls until the end of grade 10. We hope to get more support for the higher education which is starting well.
… are our scholarship girls from Chyangsar, Ghunsa, Merangding, Kunikop and Kathmandu. ALL 14 have passed the SEE (the Nepalese central examination after grade 10), 2 of them are top of the school. These 3 girls with excellent results are currently fighting for admission to nurse training in Kathmandu. We keep our fingers crossed for them.
Thank you to all the sponsors who believe in our girls. Now that we are moving towards higher education for the first time, we are hoping for more sponsors – please spread the word ? and contact us at office@rootsforlife.info.

Many thanks to our patrons who make this empowerment possible.
… has many functions for the girls in the children’s home. They enjoy it very much and it is also good for them to grow their own vegetables. There is something healing and relaxing about gardening, and it can also be fun ? .
Knowing what is on the table we have produced ourselves makes them and us proud.
Many thanks to our patrons, some of whom have been supporting the girls for many years.
… is the excursion to Lumbini for the children from the home in Pokhara. They don’t know holidays in that sense, but religious places have a great meaning for them. Going there together is a great experience and we are happy for them.
Many thanks to our sponsors who make this possible.
… with our girls when they have completed grade 12? Together we discuss, explain and weigh the possibilities. We hope that we will be able to find and finance a good further education for at least some of the girls.
Many thanks to all the sponsors who make this possible and we hope that some more will join us.
… is still the most common cause of death for Nepali women aged 15 to 49.
Faced with physical and physical violence, they often have no one they can trust to help them.
Now it has hit one of our girls in the village, at the age of 13 she did not know what to do.
We are shocked and grieve with the family. In any case, we will intensify our activities and do everything possible to avoid fates like this in the future.

We will not forget our girl.
