Aquiles
Peru
78-year-old Aquiles captured photos of his solar-powered radio and his daughter’s street after a $50 cataract surgery, made possible by Seva Canada donors, restored his vision. His radio kept him entertained and connected to local news when he couldn’t see.

We focus on sight because it’s solvable: 90% of vision loss can be prevented or treated.
Since 1982, Seva donors have given the power of sight to more than 5 million people through life-changing surgeries and provided eye care services to millions more.
