    Great results …

    … Carola Gosch could see on site in Pokhara. For several years Opportunity Village Nepal has been training young women from vulnerable situations. The goal is to find a job themselves or even to start their own business. Together the results and the challenges were discussed and afterwards some stores were visited. The young women learned a lot and are grateful for the self-employment they achieved.

    Many thanks to all who support us in this important work.

  • The girls …

    The girls …

    … in the children’s home of @Oportunity village Nepal were very happy about the visit of Carola Gosch. It is nice to see how the little girls become young women. They now have confidence in themselves and could communicate with the visitors in English. Many questions were asked and the girls proudly showed their garden.  The greenhouse and thus the supply of vegetables was a great advantage especially in lockdown times. Of course, gifts were also distributed to all. Thereupon, at the end of the visit Carola Gosch awaited a real surprise – pancakes with jam ?

    Many thanks to all the sponsors who open up new opportunities for these girls.

    Warm jackets …

    … provided now also for the children in Kunikhop. What a joy. There is no heating in the houses and in the school and the winter is very cold. For us Europeans hardly imaginable. That is why Roots for Life has been distributing the popular fleece jackets for years, which keep warm and fit under a jacket. These cozy jackets are not even taken off to sleep.

    We thank our sponsors who make this possible.

    If you would also like to contribute as a sponsor, we would be happy to hear from you at office@rootsforlife.info

    Just in time ..

    .. the girls in Merangding got the new backpacks already 2021 for the opening of the schools after a lockdown. With the long ways to school and the different weather conditions, it is important for the girls to be able to stow their books safely.

  • “Spontaneous socks” …

    “Spontaneous socks” …

    … are needed . When distributing Christmas wishes to our girls, this time it was underwear, they actually came in Flip flops without socks in sub-zero temperatures. Socks are luxury items and are only used for school shoes. Little things that we don’t think about anymore make a big difference in Nepal.

     

    If you also want to do something good for Christmas, we would be happy about a sponsorship at office@rootsforlife.info.

     

    For this year we thank our sponsors for their support and would like to remind everyone that we need your address and date of birth to register with the tax office.

     

    We wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022.

    .. despite minus degrees without socks
    .. Underwear and a few sweets for Christmas joy

    .. expectantly the girls come to the distribution

Especially the school uniforms have to be completed once again and so the local tailor comes to measure in the village and our partner Kusang Tamang hopefully writes the data correctly on the list. We will see it on the school uniforms ? .

    Many thanks to our sponsors who have been with us here for a long time and maybe others will feel addressed to support the girls. We would be happy – write to us at office@rootsforlife.info

  • Kunikhop – Scholarships

    Kunikhop – Scholarships

    With the establishment of the cooperative in Kunikhop came the desire of the women to support their girls in attending school. Education as a prerequisite for a self-determined life for their daughters is a real need for the women in Kunikhop. The program for the girls in Kunikhop will start in 2021.

  • Here we go ..

    Here we go ..

    .. for the girls from Chyangsar and Ghunsa who want to go to college after successfully completing their compulsory education. Kusang Tamang has looked for a suitable room for them on site and has furnished it so far. They will cook, study and sleep there. We wish them all the best.

    We are still looking for sponsors to finance this 2-year training and would appreciate their support.
