Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is seeing clearly for the first time – thanks to you.
Through Seva, your compassion does more than restore sight. It brings back the sparkle in a child’s eye, the confidence in a mother’s stride, and the independence of a grandfather finding his way again.

The Power of Your Support for Children
As you know, timing is everything when it comes to children. Thanks to your generosity – and a matching gift from a compassionate family – we raised $300,000 to ensure kids get help early, before vision problems hold them back for life. Thousands of children are beginning to see, learn confidently, and step into the future they deserve.
“I have found a new life. For me, sight is everything. It brought back my dignity and independence.”
