Children affected by blindness globally
Imagine growing up in complete darkness
​
Not because the world lacks color, but because you were born blind in a place where treatment was never an option.
​
For thousands of under privileged children in India,
this isn't just a hypothetical. It's reality.
​
But what if blindness wasn't permanent?
​What if a simple surgery could unlock an entirely new world?
​
Since 2005, that's been the mission of Project Prakash.

Life changing surgeries
For thousands of children in India, blindness isn’t just a loss of sight; it’s a loss of childhood, education, and opportunity.
Most will never receive the care they need. Project Prakash is changing that.
​
We don’t just restore sight; we restore futures. A child who once relied on touch to navigate their world can now walk to school. A family burdened by uncertainty now sees hope. And through every life we transform, we uncover new insights into how the brain learns to see.
​
Sight is more than vision. It’s independence. It’s opportunity. It’s life. And together, we can bring it to those who need it most
Guided by Visionaries
