Fruit and Vegetable Plantation

Nearly 20 years ago, we established a fruit plantation near the village of Monjong. Despite the slow growth of trees in this area, we are able to harvest more apricots, apples, pears, mulberries, and walnuts each year.

Vegetables are also grown here, providing a welcome change in the very unbalanced diet of the villagers. In the village of Kurphe, vegetables are also cultivated in many private gardens, following a training programme we organized a few years ago, including the distribution of seeds.


Fruit and vegetables grow here only with irrigation.

The fruit trees grow very slowly at this altitude.

Himalaya-Karakorum e.V.

Der als gemeinnützig anerkannte Verein unterstützt Menschen, die unter schwierigen Bedingungen in den Bergen des Himalaya und Karakorum leben, am Rand der Siedlungsgrenze und immer auch am Rand der Existenzgrenze. Den Dorfbewohnern soll das Überleben in ihrer angestammten Heimat erleichtert werden, und zwar nach dem Prinzip der Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es, dass unsere Hilfe in absehbarer Zeit nicht mehr nötig ist.
