Little Contribution for Major Impact on the lives

By Dr Bhushan Punani | Executive Secretary

Restoring Sight, Restoring Faith

Dear Donor, Well Wishers

Easter Greetings!!

May the Christian spirit be with us in times of giving.

Though you are so far away, we are touched by your generous support to our organization for two very life changing projects. With this support we are able to restore vision to more than 3000 people in Gujarat, the projects have made very good progress in the past years. We have been able to bring qualitative change in the lives of people who can now see again.

The sight saving project is in expansion mode, and have planned many activities like Vision Centers in remote areas, treatment for diabetes retinopathy, pediatric ophthalmology services.

GlobalGiving will soon launch a campaign named “2018 Little by Little Campaign!” The highlights of the campaign is your small donations will be matched by Global Giving, and you will be entitled for tax exemption if you donate in USA and UK. It runs from 09:00:01 EDT on April 9th, to 23:59:59 , April 13th, 2018.

Major Highlights of the Campaign

There will be $50,000 in matching funds during the campaign, applied at 50% to all donations up to $50 USD per unique donor per project to eligible projects while funds last during the campaign. Donations will be matched based on the order in which they are received.
