10. ● India - Blind Capital of the World
● 32 million visually impaired
● 62.2% cases are caused by Cataract
● Reason: basic eye care services are not
accessible to everyone, especially to those in
rural and tribal areas.
● Niti Ayog Report: Deficit of over 125 million
surgeries.
● Solution - India needs an integrated, people-
centered eye care system

The lives we aim to touch

13. Development Empowerment
Studies have shown how simple cataract
surgeries have resulted in an increase in
household income because once vision
problems are treated, people are able to be
more productive and eventually become
more financially-secure. This also
contributes significantly to reducing hunger
within the nation.
Factors such as class, caste, gender, etc.
shall not prevent them from getting the
services they have the right to. In the past
the project has touched over 130 million
lives, with over 2,34,000 cataract surgeries
successfully performed. We intend to
continue this work and also expand to
other states, taking these services to a
wider range of people in various states and
regions.

15. ● Leveraging strengths of the field outreach
teams. Women = 50% of the community.
● Menstrual hygiene is also a development
issue as many girls drop out of school upon
reaching puberty.
● Traditional means such as the use of ash, dry
leaves, etc. also endangers their physical
health - prevalence fo 60-70%.
● Project fixed cost - of human resources,
buses/vans to conduct awareness sessions.
● Potential of tying up with brands who make
menstrual hygiene products.
