Dear Well-wishers,

Every day, countless individuals around the world wake up facing the darkness of vision impairment. For many, this darkness casts a shadow over their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. At Sankara Nethralaya, we strive tirelessly to dispel this darkness and bring light.

Since our inception, we have been on a mission to eradicate preventable blindness and provide quality eye care to all, regardless of their socio-economic status. Over the years, with the strong support of compassionate individuals and organizations like you, we have come a long way. However, there is still more and we cannot do it alone.

Today, we appeal to your kindness to join hands with us once again in our fundraising efforts. With your support, we can:

Every donation is not just a financial contribution; it is a hope for someone who has lost sight of a brighter future. Together, we can make a difference—one life, one pair of eyes at a time. We ask you to reflect on the impact your support can have. Imagine the joy of a child seeing the world for the first time, the gratitude of an elderly individual regaining their independence, and the ripple effect of positivity spreading through communities.

Your donation to Medical Research Foundation is eligible for 80G tax exemption under the Income Tax Act. Additionally, for corporate donors, we have also registered under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) act. Thank you for considering our appeal and for being a part of our mission to bring light to lives.
