Where will the funds go?

They are constructing a building in Kageshwori Manohara Municipality-4 Danchhi, Kathmandu, which is currently at halt, due to insufficient funds. The funds raised through this platform will be utilized for the completion of the building, which will be called “Blind Women Safe Home and Training Center”, a shelter home to ensure the safety and security of blind women along with disability friendly accommodation.
