Chay Ya Tyrol
CHAY YA TYROL was founded in January 2019 by two young Tyroleans, Florian and Veronika, who had volunteered as nurses in a hospital in Nepal for several months. Verena joined the team to help with the administrative aspects, but she also does educational work with her pupils and has already initiated great projects for Nepal with the classes of HAK Telfs.
The focus of Chay Ya Tyrol is on health topics, but they also support the Chay Ya family in disaster relief and education.
Verena Klocker
Chairwoman Chay Ya Tyrol
Qualification: Studied religion and exercise & sports at the University of Innsbruck
Motivation: Every single person is valuable and has a right to a life in which security and freedom are paramount. The security to cope with everyday life and the freedom to develop.
Veronika Saurwein
Secretary & Board Member Chay Ya Tyrol
Qualification: Graduate nurse, completed a 5-week internship at Dhulikhel Hospital in Nepal
Motivation: During my visit to Nepal, I noticed that the things we take for granted here in Austria, such as medical care, schooling and equal opportunities are by no means the norm in this state in South Asia, and in my view, everyone has a right to them.
Florian Rettenbacher
Vice chairman & treasurer Chay Ya Upper Austria
Qualification: Graduate nurse
Motivation: Health and education are the keys to a self-determined life in today’s world. Especially during an internship in Nepal during my training I realized how important these factors are for the local people. In a country between old tradition and modernity, with all its advantages and disadvantages. If we manage to enable not only the adults but also the smallest in this country to live a life with education, health promotion and prevention of illness, we create a strong foundation for all and equip them for a self-determined and above all healthy future.
