4 out of 5 people who are blind don’t have to be.

You can help.

Your donation supports community-led eye care programs that prevent blindness and restore sight in some of the most challenging areas with the greatest need in the world.

Our Vision is a world in which no one is needlessly blind or visually impaired.

5 million

Since 1982, Seva has helped more than 5 million people see again.

90%

We focus on sight because it’s solvable: 90% of vision loss can be prevented or treated.

We asked our Nepali eye patients to capture photos of who they love most after their vision was restored.

Give Monthly

A monthly donation of just $25 can provide sight-restoring surgery for 6 adults every year!

Join ForSight a community of monthly donors committed to providing the means, opportunity, and capacity for people in low- and middle-income countries to receive surgery, glasses and medicine that they need to build brighter futures.

When you donate monthly, you give the power of sight to people in need all year-round.

Leave a Gift in your Will

A gift in your Will doesn’t have to be large to make a difference. Leaving a gift in your Will to Seva Canada Society can transform the lives of others for generations to come.

We have seen first-hand the enormous impact that Seva Canada’s efforts have made. Giving the gift of sight provides such a benefit not just to the individuals, but to the families and the entire communities. Lives are changed.

Research, Training and Expertise

Promoting evidence-based decision making has always been at the core of Seva Canada’s eye care program support. Collecting, analyzing, interpreting and sharing eye health-related data is essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of eye care program practices.

Over the last 40 years, Seva Canada has trained and transferred epidemiologic, monitoring and evaluation and clinical study skills to its program partners; enabling them to understand how to interpret and conduct their own studies to inform their program decisions.

This knowledge transfer is a foundational part of achieving our shared goal: a world where no one is needlessly blind or visually impaired.
