Vancouver based Charitable Organization Seva Canada's mission is to restore sight and prevent blindness in the developing world.

We believe that giving the gift of sight is the most effective way to relieve suffering, alleviate poverty and transform lives. Since 1982, Seva Canada has been helping communities develop their own capacity to deliver affordable eye care services. Seva provides funding and expertise to partners in 9 countries and regions: Nepal, Tibet, India, Tanzania and eastern Africa, Guatemala, Cambodia, Egypt, Malawi and Madagascar.

• locally managed
• high volume
• low cost
• directed to those most in need
• accessible to women and girls, and
• sustainable.

It doesn't have to be this way. 80% of blindness is preventable or treatable, often with a 15-minute cataract surgery costing $50 or less. Eye surgery is one of the miracles of modern medicine and is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce poverty.

You can give the gift of sight to a blind person and change lives forever.
