Paléo Festival Nyon

Every year, Paléo Festival highlights the work of an association or charity whose field of activity is related to the theme of the Village du Monde. This year, the guest of honour is the Middle East and we have decided to invite Nai Qala, an association from Afghanistan, and to give them the opportunity of showcasing their endeavours on the Asse festival site. Nai Qala is a charity founded in 2007 by Taiba Rahim. Thanks to the efforts of her father, a visionary Afghan shepherd, this young woman managed to complete her studies and travel to Trélex in Switzerland and find work. Brought up in the spirit of altruism emanating from her father, she was able to enrol in higher education thanks to the support of people in Afghanistan. Ever since, she has been striving to repay this debt to the country of her birth. Her main goal is to provide education and health care for children in some of the country’s wildest and most remote areas. She has already funded the construction of three schools and a dispensary. One of the project’s most laudable achievements is that it has helped build a more positive image of the region as well as insisting that the destiny of Afghanistan should remain in the hands of local people, whilst providing them with the opportunity of acquiring the tools necessary for the country’s development.

This year again, the tickets sales for the Paléo Festival have had great success. Your loyalty and your confidence are an enormous boost for us. But we are not insensitive to the frustration of many who did not manage to get tickets because of the rapid sale of these.
