For the independence …
… of the cooperative, the members of the boards received further intensive training in accounting and management. All four villages sent their managers to Kathmandu. Based on their own documents, they were able to work on how to prepare the books, especially for the audit. For the women, this is very unfamiliar work, which they have already been practising over the past few years with support. By the end of the year, they should be able to do this all by themselves. We wish them the best of luck. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the sustainable empowerment of women.

Microorganisms …
… are also used in permaculture to improve the results. Some selected farmers have been trained in this and will use it for the first time on their fields and also on the model farm. Using mushrooms, ash, cow dung and other ingredients, a so-called ‘super compost’ is produced. We are already very excited about the results. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for their fantastic support of the farms.

A new year …
… has begun on the model farm in Ghunsa. In addition to the already well-rehearsed work on the model farm, the irrigation hoses for the ‘excellent’ farmers were also distributed. Many thanks to @Schöck Family Foundation for the great support of the farms.

The future …
… of the cooperative is already being taken over independently by the leadership team from all 4 villages. For the third time, the team accompanied the strategy days together with Carola Gosch. Achievements are proudly presented, experiences are exchanged and possibilities for the future are discussed. We are very proud of the good co-operation between the women and are sure that the cooperative will continue to work well in the future. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for its long-term support of the farms and the cooperative.

For 7 years …
… the women from the co-operative have been coming together to present their products. A variety of vegetables, seeds and traditional dishes are presented and awarded prizes. This event, which is always attended by government representatives, increases the appreciation of organic farming. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the farms.

News from the hostel …
… could be exchanged during the visit on site. In the meantime, all of the girls’ beds are already producing good yields, radiators have been purchased for the winter and experiences and challenges have been openly discussed. The official sign has also been installed. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for giving the girls this opportunity.

Material for the farmers …
… for the best of the village. The women were duly honoured at the meeting of the cooperative. They shared their experiences with the others. We are sure that the women will continue to work well in the future, even without external support. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for its long-term support of this project.

It’s great to see …
… how the organic mixed cultures are realised. The women are self-confident in their farming and still have a lot of fun with the stoves. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the women.

A warm welcome …
… in Merangding. The women not only distributed the traditional flower wreaths, they also cooked in advance and prepared everything perfectly. We really enjoyed exchanging ideas in this pleasant atmosphere. It’s great to see how the women stick together and put what they have learnt into practice. This fantastic work is only possible thanks to the support of the Schöck Family Foundation, for which we are very grateful.

Biotest …
… of a special kind we learnt in Kunikhop. With organically grown maize, the inside of the dried stalks tastes sweet. It wasn’t just us who enjoyed the snack, the goats and cows enjoyed it too. It’s great to see how independently the women are already running their farms and how the family menu always includes vegetables. Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting the model farms in Solukhumbu.
