Raising funds for free Eye Camp in Nubri Valley, Nepal 2025

Tax deductible
Dear Friends & Supporters,

Today I am reaching out to share an important initiative that can transform lives in the remote village of Nubri, and I need your help to make it a reality.

Nubri, nestled in the breathtaking mountains, is home to a vibrant community that faces numerous challenges, one of the most pressing being access to essential healthcare services. Many residents suffer from preventable vision impairments and lack access to proper eye care, which affects their daily lives and makes them unable to work.

We are excited to announce a life-changing initiative that Delek Children's Foundation is going to organize in May 2025 in partnership with renowned Ophthalmologist Dr. Sanduk Ruit in Nepal. After many months of planning, we finally got in touch with Dr. Ruit, and he was very receptive to our request and agreed to join us with our project. He could commit to this Eye Camp in May 2025 despite his busy schedule. This will be our 3rd Free Eye Camp in India and Nepal. This time, we have selected the remote village of Nubri in Nepal as we have received multiple requests from the village. We couldn't visit this area in April during the last Eye Camp in Tsum Valley due to time and budget constraints. Many villagers in these parts of the country are still struggling with vision impairment, particularly with cataracts, and we aim to bring hope and healing to this underserved community.

What We're Doing: Our team will provide free Eye Check-Ups and Cataract Surgeries to those in need under the skilled hands of Dr. Ruit, an award-winning ophthalmologist. Dr. Ruit dedicated his career to restoring sight and transforming lives, and we are honored to have him lead this mission.

Our Goal: To make this vision a reality, we aim to raise $35,000. This funding will help cover:

  • Provide free eye examinations for hundreds of individuals.
  • Distribute prescription glasses to those in need.
  • Educate the community about eye health and preventive care.
  • Deliver food supplies, clothing, and meals to enhance their well-being.
  • Purchase Medical supplies and equipment.
  • Provide accommodation and meals to the medical team.

How You Can Help: We need your support to realize this vision.

In addition to eye care, we are committed to supporting the community in other essential ways. During the camp, we will distribute food supplies, clothing, reading glasses, and hot meals to ensure that everyone leaves with better vision, nourishment, and warmth. This comprehensive approach aims to uplift their health and overall well-being.

Every dollar counts, and no donation is too small. Together, we can change lives and restore hope to the villagers of Nubri.

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right; together, we can make a significant impact. Your generosity can help us change lives in Nubri, one pair of glasses, one meal, and one piece of clothing at a time.

Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign and sharing it with your network. Every share, every dollar counts, and together we can help bring light and support to those in need.

Thank you for your kindness and support!

With gratitude,
Thupten Donyo
