Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you already know, the OneSight Foundation organises around 20 international clinics in all 5 continents where volunteers and doctors, from all over the world, hand deliver free eye-care and recycled eyewear to those in need.  

I will be traveling to India on the 8th November to take part in one of the Clinics (in Udaipur, also known as the city of Lakes).  Our goal will to be to help 10,000 people in 8 days of clinic.

In this area of India, there is a tremendous need for our services. The average yearly income is approximately $ 450. With over a quarter of the world's poor concentrated in India, poverty is the government's biggest priority.

These clinics are funded by generous donations from people like you, and for this clinic I would like to ask for your support.  All the donations made go directly into running the clinics and helping people who do not have access to eye exams and glasses.  My goal is to raise $1000.

 

Thanks in advance for your help, it is highly appreciated.
