Friends of the Tarabai Desai Eye Hospital

About the charity

The Tarabai Desai Eye Hospital provides free eye surgery to the poor in Rajasthan/India. The hospital organises Eye Camps throughout the State, when thousands of people come for examinations. Of these some 2000 poor patients, who could not afford to pay for an operation, are operated on every year for the removal of cataracts and so save them from permanent blindness. The Friends have achieved to fund the building of a substantial extension to the hospital in Jodhpur but apart from needing funds to keep the Eye Camps going in their humanitarian work, we are now also in great need to replace old unserviceable medical equipment. We do depend on your help. Please make a donation for this worthwhile cause to give back the sight to someone who is at a serious stage to become permanently blind without having an operation.
