Organic model farm in Ghunsa
Together with our partner organisation Roots for Life, we are building a model farm for organic vegetable cultivation in Ghunsa, Solukhumbu, among other things with your donations and the support of the Vorarlberg provincial government. Here, under the guidance of experts, old things are to be preserved and new things tried out in order to improve the supply situation of the families and create new sources of income in the future.
Waste Recycling Palungtar
This project for the treatment and disposal of solid waste in Palungtar aims at introducing a more efficient and environmentally friendly system in the community, where organic waste is composted and not recycled. At the same time, an awareness of waste recycling in the local population is to be created and disseminated through information material. The supporting group of the project is the existing women’s group in Palungtar. After 18 months, the waste recycling plant should not only finance itself, but also create an income for at least 30 women by selling the extracted compost (organic waste) and the raw materials (inorganic waste). This is possible thanks to your donations, the Zünd Foundation and the financial support of the government of Nepal.
