DCI's Blindness Prevention Program
Tax deductible
Nineteen million children suffer from visual impairment worldwide. Every single year, another half a million children join them.
50% of those children who become blind end up dying within the following year, while those who survive are stripped of opportunities in education and employment. The worst part? 80% of this visual impairment in children is fully preventable and treatable.
Hello everyone. My name is Ameena Tanaaz Chowdhury, and I am a youth leader at Distressed Children and Infants International (DCI). DCI is an incredible nonprofit dedicated to ending the poverty cycle for children. In this fundraiser, I wanted to help support their efforts in preventing blindness.
This is where you come in. With your donation, we can continue to help:
- Organizing eye screening test camps in remote rural areas and urban slums
- Providing corrective treatment, especially for refractive error and cataract surgery
- Providing free eyeglasses to children in need
- Educating the masses on eye health and treatment
Please help us reach our goal of raising $3,000 by the end of November 2023. Just $100 can give a child the gift of vision, so please donate and spread the word as much as you can. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the world!
