A life changed

I can see my children’s faces again.

“I never thought I would see clearly again. This gift changed my life.”

Care that travels to every corner.

Hospitals anchor the work. Camps and classrooms extend it, from Karachi to Balochistan.

School screenings

Five campaigns across Karachi, Balochistan, and Sindh since 2000, catching children’s vision problems before they fall behind in class.
