The Spiti Valley

12/02/2025

We welcome the New Lunar New Year, the year of the Wood Snake with excitement.

Our anticipation is growing as we begin plans for an Eye Clinic in the summer. This will benefit the Spiti farmers and their families in remote areas that don't have the funds, or often time to get their eyes checked.

This will be an enormous help in the valley - many of us have experienced eye sight deterioration with age and know how frustrating it can be.

If you would like to help support the rural farmers please go to www.spiti.org

We are very excited to tell you that the Rotary Eye Hospital is currently in Kaza - the capital of the valley, holding the Eye Check Up Camp.

This is the culmination of years of work from the London team and our supporters and we are thrilled.

Please see the details below.

Sweaters for the Children of Spiti Valley

We are always delighted to be able to distribute gorgeous sweaters, hats and warm gloves knitted by the supporters of Spiti Projects to the children of the valley whenever our founder, Joan travels to Spiti.

It is one of our great joys to see the children in their lovely, warm winter wear.

Thank you so much to everyone who makes this possible.
