Nearly 80% of the world's 45 million blind people would be able to see again if they had access to eye care services. We're working on it.
In the past year alone, Seva-supported programs served over 500,000 people in some of the world's poorest communities, including 30,000 people who had cataract surgery to restore their eyesight.
With partners in nine countries around the world, Seva is working to reduce avoidable blindness by helping communities develop high quality, affordable eye care services that they can sustain on their own.  |
Type II Diabetes rates are higher for Native Americans than any other group in the world, affecting more than 50% of adults in many communities. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Because these devastating diseases stem from rapid changes to indigenous societies and the environment, health interventions must be culturally-based and holistically address these factors. Seva’s Native American Community Health (NACH) Program builds the capacity of standout Native American organizations working to increase community-based management of disease prevention and health promotion strategies. |
