Summary

There are more than 8 million* blind people in India. That's about 30% of the world's total blind population - most of whom went blind unnecessarily. Cataract is the single largest contributor to avoidable blindness. Since 1993, ICARE has been providing free of cost quality eye care services of international standards to rural/urban underprivileged sections of the society. You can make a difference by helping us combat the problem. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
