As we have proudly talked about on this website, Spiti Projects has built a community centre in Kaza, the capital of the valley for which we received the UN Climate Change Award. In the centre, there is a room set aside specifically for use as an eye clinic/optician. This is managed by The Rotary Eye Hospital in Palampur, Himachel Pradesh, North India.

Sponsoring a Child is one of the most worthwhile things that can be done for Spiti children of deprived families. Your donations have changed the lives of these young people, paying for clothes, school fees, books and transport.

The Craft Centre was set up in 1997 to provide the women of the Valley an opportunity to earn their own income, through providing a commercial outlet for the traditional knitted and woven crafts of the area.

The Community Centre provides a focal point for social & cultural life in Kaza, & providing a location for health services. It includes a hall, kitchen, a craft centre & a library. Simple accommodation upstairs for home-stays which provides income to be self-sustaining.

The Mission Hospital completed in 1995. It deals with many illnesses that are endemic in the region. It is fully used during the summer months with doctors from Manali & visiting doctors from overseas continuing to support & provide medical help for the community.

The Spiti Projects is currently working towards a new and exciting service for the farmers of the Spiti Valley. It is estimated that there are thousands of people suffering with eye problems in the region of the Spiti Valley, with about 2,500 people requiring support.

Mane Village School building started in 2002 and was completed in 2005. There was no road to the village and all materials had to be brought in by donkey. The plan included five classrooms, a staff room, and a library dedicated to Natalie Pyke who sent over 60 boxes of books to the school.

Volunteers in the UK have knitted more than 3 sweaters for each child in the valley.

We would like to thank all the kind knitters for their support over the last 10 years.

Mane Village Clinic completed in 2010. Teams of doctors from Shimla visit regularly to hold screening clinics. People come from all over the valley to have a check-up. Routine blood pressure sugar and cholesterol levels are tested, which lead to improving community health.
