The Voice of Our Donors

"An excellent example of how to bring together service and science"

“For us to have an impact on young lives affected by challenges like blindness, we need to merge a robust program of rural outreach and medical treatment, with fundamental scientific research. Project Prakash stands as an excellent example of how to bring together these seemingly distinct themes of service and science. The effort has lived up to its name by illuminating lives as well as minds. Having interacted with the project team, I am certain that their impact will continue to grow and inspire in the years to come.”
