CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD SEES

Changing the way the world sees

Tarabai Eyecare is the largest rural outreach programs in the Thar desert region of India's Rajasthan that is helping eliminate preventable blindness and bringing quality eye care to those who need it the most.

Losing sight doesn't just take away a person's ability to see; it changes the way they experience the world. Blindness directly impacts one's ability to learn, receive an education, and engage in social situations. With your help, we can bring hope and care to millions in the remote villages where extreme temperatures, harsh terrain, poor education, and widespread poverty makes access to healthcare extremely difficult. Tarabai Eyecare USA is a 501 (c)(3) registered non-profit organization.

"One of the most illuminating aspects is realizing how hard these ophthalmologists work to improve someone’s life. Even if this means traveling far and wide to small villages to find patients in need, bringing those patients back, and operating for 12 hours straight until their hands are sore to make sure all patients are cared for. It’s more than a commitment, it is one of the most impressive human performances I have ever seen."
