Support with Family Planning and Hygiene Measures

Most women in Baltistan give birth to one child after another because there are no contraceptives available.

We provide education on family planning measures. Even more importantly, through our support, both girls and boys are now attending higher schools and want to complete their education before getting married. This increases the age of marriage, which in turn automatically reduces the number of children. Furthermore, through the education provided in our hostels, we contribute to making the young generation aware of the importance of hygiene for health. In the village of Askole, we have been running a project for several years focused on waste prevention and disposal.

In the mountain villages, it is not easy to maintain cleanliness and hygiene,

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.
