On the 7th of May, a special art exhibition was launched at Claudia Stöckle’s physiotherapy practice in Göppingen (Germany). She and her team presented acrylic paintings and photograhps under the title “healing – art – movement”.
Part of the revenue and the collected donations will go to The Women’s Foundation Nepal (WFN) and the children’s oncology department at the Olga Hospital in Stuttgart.

With the generous support of GLS Treuhand, Germany, and Dr. Karl Brasse, ophthalmologist, the WFN was able to provide eye checkups and treatments for 2957 people at the Eye Camp held at our WFN’s compound, from March 1st through March 7th 2014. Among them, 53 women and 39 men (92 persons in total) needed an eye operation and they all had their surgery within the next few days. They received eye surgery from March 1st to March 14th. We also provided them with free transportation, black glasses and medication.

WFN is continuously working to find ways to empower women so they can take their true place in society.
In Nepal, many women never went to school, therefore can barely read and write and others do have a high school diploma but never received a practical training of any kind. Consequently they only can find low paying jobs like cleaning, doing house chores for another, knitting, in short work that requires no specific skills. Their long hours doesn’t even generate respect nor a decent salary and as a result women have no self esteem.
After many meeting and discussions on this issue, a pilot project was born.

The WFN had a stall at the GIZ* Fairtrade Christmas Bazaar, held on the 23rd November 2013 at their Headquarter in Kathmandu. The stall was organised by Felix, a volunteer from Changemaker, with the help of many of the WFN staff. The day was a great success, with many people buying beautiful products made by our staff at Maheela Cooperative.
The Women’s Foundation Nepal has been awarded for the Best Entrepreneur of the year 2013. The award has been given on recognition for providing employment to women through Small Cottage Industry. Currently, WFN has been providing employment for more than 100 women.

Again, thank you for all you do for our organization and children.
