On the dusty arid plains, 35 kilometers southeast of Jodhpur lies Sajjada-a modest agrarian village of just 400 residents. On July 13, 2025, this quiet corner of Rajasthan became a beacon of hope as we hosted a free multi-specialty eye camp in collaboration with Lions Club Gyan Jyoti.

With both ophthalmic and general medical services on offer, the response was overwhelming. A total of 107 villagers came forward – not only for eye care but for other ailments as well. The spirit of community was palpable.

Among those screened, three patients were diagnosed with operable cataracts. We brought them to our base hospital in Jodhpur, where they underwent successful surgery. Each received a high-quality intraocular lens implant – completely free of charge.

This camp was a testament to what compassionate collaboration can achieve. Sajjada reminded us that even in the most remote corners, vision can be restored – and dignity renewed.

Your support helps us reach those most in need. Let’s keep sight within reach for all.

With agriculture waning, a new wave of small-scale manufacturing is emerging, fueled by the undiminished spirit of its people.

On 7 July 2025, our nonprofit team joined hands with local leader Mr. Daga, who spearheaded publicity and arranged transport. We treated 401 patients and selected 26 individuals for free cataract surgery. These patients were transported to our base hospital in Jodhpur and successfully operated – restoring sight and dignity. We had the privilege to operate on martyr Setha Ram’s uncle who is pictured in image 3.

This initiative not only honored a martyr’s memory but also advanced our mission to reduce avoidable blindness in the underserved communities of the Thar Desert.
