Project Description

Region: Asia

Country: India

Location: Kolkata

Total Budget: $36,000

Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment



Rotary Club of Belur is a vibrant club involved in many humanitarian projects year after year. We sponsor free cataract surgeries with IOL implantation regularly, the last year's aggregate being over 5,000 free surgeries.

The club is setting up its own eye hospital, which would be functional by October 2013. We therefore, wish to expand the project further with new set of 4,000 IOL surgeries. RC Howrah Gangadharpur is a partner club in the hospital project.

Beneficiaries would be identified by holding screening camps in various locations in West Bengal within geographical region of Dist 3291. Screening camps would be organized by our two clubs and other NGOs, including other Rotary Clubs. The hospital would provide doctors and paramedical staff to screen the patients.

It is anticipated that at least 4000 needy persons will benefit under this project and they will be able to see clearly and live a life of dignity and earnings. RC Belur, a club with good past history of grant projects, would ensure stewardship and reporting in a timely manner.

We invite one or more districts/clubs to join hands with us in this project. Please feel free to seek any clarifications, which would be replied promptly.
