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.

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.
