Your support enables Seva to build sustainable systems worldwide that provide critical eye care to the underserved – especially women, children, and indigenous communities. You can help children go back to school, adults go back to work, and communities thrive. When more people can see and lead healthy, productive lives, entire communities are transformed.
For just $50, you can provide sight-restoring cataract surgery to someone who is blind and transform their life forever. And today your donation will be doubled in honor of World Sight Day!
“We always had to ensure she reached school early, so she could get the front-row seats. And even then, she had trouble reading from the blackboard,” says Kehkasha’s father.
For a seventeen year old, the world is full of joy, growth, and endless possibilities for a bright future. But at seventeen, Kehkasha’s life was put on pause. She had developed cataracts in both her eyes the year before, and her biggest dreams of receiving an education and finding a career to support her family became near impossible.
Your support allowed Kehkasha to get sight-saving surgery at a local Seva sponsored eye hospital.
Today, she’s back in the classroom with a clear view of the blackboard and her future is once again full of endless possibilities!

Seva has a proven solution rooted in science, data, and compassion to tackle the health crisis of avoidable blindness head-on. We co-create highly effective, sustainable eye care systems with local partners around the world so that people today and generations to come tomorrow – all have the much needed access to eye care. Seva's four drivers for success are local vision centers, providing pediatric care, training eye care professionals, and investing in innovative technology.
When 71 year old Chhith Chea lost her vision five years ago, her niece moved in to assist her. But now they have their lives back.
When doctors found Shamimu (age 5, Tanzania) she was almost blind from cataract in both eyes. Now she has a bright future.
