What people say about us
Its nice to be be back for this visit with Norbert. His efforts in putting up the pump house and the museum are commendable. One sees the integration of the project with the village! Once again we encouraged the people to keep the tradition of building with mud alive. It's a great learning - life coming back to the future!

First of all it’s helping women to earn their livelihood besides working for emancipation of women in a rural area. I bought a doll from an exhibition held in Lahore and simply fell in love with their products. Hats off to this organisation. God bless!

The recent visit of Dr. Senta Siller to Pakistan in April 2026 was not merely a formal international journey; it was a deeply emotional and symbolic return to a country and a people with whom she has shared more than three decades of affection, creativity, and humanitarian commitment. Accompanied by her husband, Professor Dr. Norbert Pintsch, the renowned German anthropologist, artist, designer, and social worker arrived in Pakistan during the first week of April for a memorable one-week visit filled with receptions, meetings, exhibitions, and heartfelt reunions.
The official beginning of the visit took place on 1 April 2026 in Lahore, where a beautiful reception was organised in the lawn of the newly established Pak-Austrian Cultural Center, known as “Mozart House.” The elegant evening was dedicated especially to Dr. Senta Siller and aimed to honour her lifelong services for the rural women of Pakistan. The event combined art, culture, memory, and gratitude in a deeply touching atmosphere.
