PiCCA is partnering with the Symbiosis Foundation (SF) to facilitate the development of a community service hub in Kamrangirchor, Dhaka. The hub aims to enable the delivery of a range of much needed services to the community including pre-school education, vocational training, women’s self-help, health awareness clinics in dental health, eye health, and antenatal, safe birthing and postnatal care. PiCCA’s contribution is specifically targeted at the purchase of capital items.

The project is progressing well and the necessary equipment for the Eye Unit has been purchased and the Eye Unit has started functioning in full swing. The eye services are being provided by the optometrist Sonia Akter who received her training from LV Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad (India) and joined KCDP in mid-April after her graduation.
