Thus the project now is sharing its experience at national level.

Thanks to our donors and well wishers that now we are able to promote both our campaigns "Save Sight Ahmedabad" and Cataract Free Sabarkantha" more aggressively. To ensure reach to all needy persons with eye problems, the project has established 4 vision centres, 3 in the rural areas and 1 in the urban area.

Our target for the year 2015 is to complete 15,000 eye surgeries. We shall need support of all our exising donors and add new donors to achieve this target. We expect all our more than 500 existing donors to make contributions generously to enable to achieve this target.
