Erdbebenopfer In Nepal 1

Daulima Sherpa can live in her own house again. Two years after a devastating earthquake destroyed her old house, she built a new house - together with other villagers who also lost their homes.

Here you can read the multimedia report about Daulima and the other villagers of Marbu.

This is a report about the immense work migration in Nepal. Hundreds of thousands young people leave the country every year - in the hope of a better future abroad.

Bangladesh.

Rohingya C Patrick Rohr May 2018 59

I spent about one month in the Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. One million people live in the world's largest refugee camp. There's not much hope for the Rohingya. They can't go back to their home country and they can't stay in Bangladesh either. See here a selection of the pictures I took for Helvetas, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and Swiss Solidarity.

Uganda.

Incited by radical American evangelists, political leaders in Uganda intended to introduce the death penalty for homosexuality. This was only prevented thanks to international pressure. But still, homosexuality is illegal in Uganda, like in many other African countries. The law is exceptionally harsh: Men and women who get caught in a homosexual act face up to 20 years in jail. Related parties and landlords who don’t denounce known LGBTI persons to the government are sentenced to seven years in prison. I travelled to Uganda on behalf of the foundation Rainbow Support Network.

Ethiopia.

Thanks to the SKY project, young people in Ethiopia learn professional skills in a three-month training programme. After that they can find a job or start their own business more easily. I visited this project on behalf of the Swiss development organisation Helvetas in 2017.

Laos.

In the northernmost part of Laos, next to the border with China, tea grows on centuries old trees and not, as is usal, on bushes. I visited the tea farmers in Phongsaly for Helvetas.
