Rose Charities NZ supports the Lumbini Eye Hospital FCHV (Female Community Health Volunteer) Program which has recently been started in South and Central Nepal. This wonderful program trains local women from the community to identify and provide simple treaments where appropriate for eye disease. The identifcation of early signs of disease can prevent later blindness in several diseases incuding glaucoma, trachoma and cataract. One of the programs organizers is Dr Basant Shama, who is Hon. Vice President of Rose Charities International.
