Restoring sight is a highly efficient and cost-effective means of reversing the devastating impact of blindness. As recognized by both the World Bank and the World Health Organization, blindness perpetuates the cycle of poverty for individuals and families. Its consequences are profound, encompassing not only the restoration of vision but also the invaluable advantages of education, gainful employment, independence, and reduced inequality, among others. Our mission is to eradicate curable blindness through the establishment of dedicated eye hospitals in India and Kenya, where we provide affordable, accessible, and sustainable eye care services.
This initiative aims to bring light and hope to those affected by curable blindness, ultimately breaking the chains of poverty and fostering a brighter future for individuals and communities.
We are creating solutions
Our Partners in the cause
We collaborate with numerous NGOs to combat curable blindness across various initiatives.
