One of our biggest projects we are working on here at CDRA is to fundraise for a new eye hospital here in Banepa. The current eye hospital is only four years old and demand has already grown to such a point that a new building is needed. The Banepa municpality has generously donated some land on the hills on the outskirts of Banepa and the community is trying to raise funds for the construction.
Over 17000 people from Karvre district are treated in the current hospital each year, the proposed new building will function as the primary facility for the surrounding districts as well and will care for an expected 50000 people per year. The expected cost for the entire new complex is one million dollars with 57000 dollars already raised from local people.

The grant of the land from the Municipality is conditional on building starting within four years. This may seem like a huge ask but it is possible if we take it one step at a time and all help.
