PHASE inspires with its integrated approach to supporting disadvantaged communities, enabling them to emerge from the viscious circle of poverty, poor health and lack of education and to actively shape their own rights, empowering them to advocate for their own rights. By working for PHASE, I can contribute to achieving a noticeable and sustainable improvement for the people in our project communities.Responsible for the use of funds, privacy protection, fundraising, and project management

Introducing PHASE Austria's executive board
Mag.a Brita Pohl
Position: Chair
Birgit Fischer
Position: Secretary
On one of my many trips I first visited Nepal in 2008. I was not only struck by the beauty of the mountains, but also loved the Nepali people. When I heard about PHASE's work, I saw a lovely opportunity to get involved and do something for Nepal.

Every human being has a right to education, health and a decent life. Obviously, this is also true for people living in remote and disadvantaged regions of the world. By helping people help themselves, and by building sustainable practices and structures, PHASE Austria makes a difference in the lives of disadvantaged people in Nepal - a goal that exactly corresponds with my idea of empowerment!
Beatrice Leidenfrost, BA
Position: Volunteer
In my eyes, PHASE Austria is an exemplary and transparent NGO which I am happy to support. We enable local experts and people living in remote areas in Nepal to implement useful projects that empower beneficiaries in the long term.
Dipl.-Psych. Senta Vogl
Position: Deputy Chair
In my youth, there still were similarly remote farms in Austria and South Tyrol as there are in Nepal. We successfully developed these. I support PHASE so people in Nepal can find their way out of poverty and lack of education, while still being able to integrate their ancient knowledge into progress.
Andreas Ramstorfer
Position: Deputy Secretary
I studied the concepts of development and disaster relief implemented by PHASE in detail - in particular I am impressed with the way the projects are embedded in existing social and/or administrative structures - I wanted to get involved and contribute my own experience and contribute to a continued positive development of PHASE.
Mag.a Daniela Gahleitner
Position: Deputy Treasurer
I am immensely impressed with the way this organisation implements the concept of empowerment.
Thomas Weber
Position: Co-opted board member
The Himalayas, and Nepal in particular, have captivated my imagination since I was a boy. When I came across PHASE Austria, I immediately knew that I wanted to support this unique approach of self-empowerment, which enables local people to become the nucleus of a sustainable improvement of living conditions in their region.
