Blindness That Can Be Prevented or Cured
Shouldn't Steal a Child's Future

1 in 1,000

children in India are blind,
the highest number globally

270,000+

children in India live in darkness,
a number that reflects both a crisis and an opportunity

40%

of childhood blindness in developing countries is preventable or treatable, but most kids never get the chance

60%

of blind children in India won’t survive to adulthood, a devastating and underrecognized reality

25%

of the world’s blindness burden is in India, with 8 million blind
and 62 million visually impaired

80%

of blind children have conditions that are treatable with timely intervention, yet access remains the barrier

Sita’s Path to
Confidence and Learning

Sita, 11, from Jhansi, was born with cataracts that kept her from fully participating in school. After surgery through Project Prakash, her vision was restored — and so was her confidence. Today, she’s thriving in class and eager to learn.
