Boys’ Hostel

The boys’ hostel in Skardu provides accommodation and food for over 60 boys from the Braldo Valley and Shigar Valley, where there are no secondary schools.

  • 22. December 2024

The boys’ hostel (the first of our educational projects financially supported by Sternstunden e.V.) was opened in 2012 and is still the only hostel for boys from the mountain villages in the Braldo Valley and Shigar Valley. Every year, between 10 and 15 students complete the 10th grade and leave the hostel, while an equal number of boys move in and start the 6th grade. The boys have to pass an entrance exam for admission, as capacity is very limited. In total, 65 boys can be accommodated here. They play cricket and football on the spacious grounds.

Himalaya-Karakorum e.V.

The non-profit organization supports people living in difficult conditions in the mountains of the Himalayas and Karakoram, on the edge of the settlement border and always on the edge of their livelihood. The aim is to help the villagers to survive in their ancestral homeland, based on the principle of helping people to help themselves. The primary goal is to ensure that our help will no longer be necessary in the foreseeable future.
