About Us — हमारे बारे में

Our Journey
Since 2015

What started as a single mobile clinic in Dadri has steadily expanded into a multi-state eye care network — driven by compassion, transparency, and an unbreakable resolve to fight preventable blindness.

India is home to 9 million visually impaired individuals. More than 80% of this blindness is entirely preventable or treatable — yet millions in rural villages and urban slums lack access to basic eye care.

Our strategic approach is highly inspired by and aligned with global organizations like the **Sightsavers model**, aiming to not only restore sight through clinical operations but also promote long-term social and disability inclusion across underserved communities.

Yes. Donors can direct their contribution to any of our six active programs — School Eye Screening (SES) Program, श्रमिक दृष्टि (Laborers Vision), Nigahe Safar, Apna Optical, Rural Mobile Eye Camps, or Urban Slum Vision Clinics.
