Give the gift of better vision to a rural poor person in Tamil Nadu!
There is little access to healthcare in the rural villages we support. Preventable visual impairments can affect a persons health and ability to work. The gift of sight is a simple and effective way to help improve a persons eyesight and happiness.
We conduct eye screening camps throughout rural Tamil Nadu. The camps screen for cataracts, a common cause of loss of vision in elders, and other visual impairments. If a person is identified as having a cataract, our health project pays for their surgery, as well as transportation to the hospital, and accommodation and food whilst in care. For other visual impairments, glasses are provided.
Over the years, our charity has donated over 50,000 pairs of glasses to rural people in South India.
This gift will pay for an eye test, a cataract referral, and glasses for a rural poor person in Tamil Nadu.
