The Urgency
Every delay adds to the rising toll of preventable blindness. Join us to make sight a reality.
The Reality checking
The Reality Millions in rural areas face needless blindness, struggling with even basic tasks.
Why Help?
In rural India, millions live in a world of darkness—not by fate, but by circumstance. Ordinary tasks become impossible challenges. Livelihoods vanish. Independence fades. And with each passing day, they and their families sink deeper into poverty and despair. Yet their blindness is needless. A simple 15-minute surgery can restore sight—transforming darkness into light, dependency into dignity, and hopelessness into opportunity. The solution exists. The surgery is free. The impact is immediate and profound. But time is running out. Every year, millions more join the ranks of the needlessly blind, outpacing our efforts. When 10 million surgeries are needed annually, even hundreds of thousands aren't enough. As the world's largest free eye-care provider, we stand at the frontlines of this battle against preventable blindness. But we cannot fight alone. Your donation today doesn't just fund surgeries—it restores lives, reunites families, and rebuilds communities. Join us now. Together, we can scale our proven solution and bring light to millions waiting in darkness. Their vision can't wait. Your support can't wait. The time to act is now.
Millions at Risk
Over 15 million people in India alone face avoidable blindness, struggling to work, learn, or care for loved ones.
Barriers to Care
Remote locations, limited healthcare facilities, and unaffordable treatment keep vital solutions out of reach, trapping them in darkness.
Mission Restore Sight
Through free surgeries, mobile eye camps, and early detection programs, we bring light and hope to those who need it most.

Twenty-three-year-old Pinky sat weeping at the Government Community Service Centre in Mahadaleshwar, Madhya Pradesh, as she awaited further instructions from the optometrist at the Sankara Eye Hospital, Indore. A much-loved daughter of doting parents, Pinky gradually lost vision in both her eyes three years ago. Once passionate about cooking and managing the household, she now felt helpless, spending her days in despair, hoping for a miracle. Her parents were equally worried, as Pinky was of marriageable age, and finding a suitable groom for a blind girl seemed nearly impossible. At the eye clinic, the optometrist assured her that surgery could restore vision in one of her eyes, where a mature cataract had been detected and was easily curable. Overjoyed, Pinky wiped her tears and listened carefully, a newfound hope filling her heart.
