This project will give the gift of SIGHT to10000 poor blind children in Pakistan who suffer from curable blindness due to Cataract. The only issue is they can either not access or afford the treatment and turn needlessly blind. Blindness is in itself a stark reality but childhood blindness is worse as the number of years ahead are much more. The good news is that their vision can be restored by donating only $72 to LRBT- the largest free eye trust with 19 hospitals and 62 Eye clinics in Pakistan

Challenge

Unfortunately, for almost 3 million children in Pakistan, the snapshots of life remain undeveloped negatives; shrouded in darkness. They suffer from blindness or impaired vision - conditions that could easily have been prevented or cured. The sad fact is that 90% of blindness is curable. Cataract - the most common cause of blindness can mostly be cured by a simple operation costing LRBT on average $72

Long-Term Impact

Restoring the Sight of 10000 children facing a life of darkness which will help them to achieve their full potential in life and overcome the daily ridicule faced from peers.
