How to Help
It’s hard to imagine the suffering caused by blindness. But try to imagine how hard it is to dream of sight. In Nepal alone, there are 200,000 blind people waiting to have their sight restored. You can help to cure those afflicted with blindness, and prevent many others from going blind.
There are three ways you can help:
For only $18 you can restore the gift of sight to a blind person in the Himalaya. $4,525 will fund a remote cataract surgery eye camp in Nepal, Tibet, China, Bhutan or Northern India. $25,000 will fund a complete project—bringing a team to Nepal for training, buying a microscope and surigical equipment, conducting a skills transfer cataract camp, and leaving lenses and equipment for local doctors to handle 500 additional cases. $50,000 will establish a primary eye care center, an important innovation as they provide care to the poorest and most unreachable patients. The Himalayan Cataract Project is one of the world’s most financially efficient international health nonprofits (See Financial). Your donation will go directly toward eye care in the Himalaya.
