“There is a Hospital, a Dental clinic but nothing for the Eyes”

Mission Costs

Eyes4Everest is an Incorporated Association registered with the Australian Not for Profit Commission. Eye Care services and associated expenses are covered by our trip volunteers. This means 100% of your donation will go to one of the causes below. 

• Khunde Eye Clinic - Managed by Eyes4Everest and the Himalayan Trust Nepal

  • It costs 10,000 USD per year to run the Khunde Eye Clinic. This covers the salary of the staff, food, accommodation and transport.

• Spectacles & Sunglasses

  • Do you know most visual conditions can be managed with a pair of prescription spectacles or sunglasses? We provide a 50% subsidy on all spectacles to cover the transportation cost from Kathmandu to remote mountain communities (AU$20 per pair). Patients have large range of spectacle frames, lens design and coatings to choose from.

• Support Local Economy

  • Every spectacle & sunglasses are made to order in Kathmandu and personally delivered by either our Sherpa guides or the Himalayan Trust Nepal.

• Creating a Sustainable Future

  • Help us provide further training and experience to our Nepalese optometrist and/or regional hospital staff so they can continue to help mountain communities.
