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.
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.
