Donate
Our greatest need is always for monetary donations, which go directly to our programs in India. In order to continue our work and expand our reach, we require the support of local donors. Though we don't usually collect monetary donations earmarked for specific items, here's an idea of what we're doing with the money we collect:
- $250 covers private school tuition for one year for one of our residential kids
- $65 will pay for one cataract surgery, including all testing and follow-up medication, restoring sight to someone who was nearly blind
- $26 allows us to buy school supplies for one child for a year
- $10 covers an eye exam and a pair of glasses
- $5 pays for meals for a month for one of the education outreach kids
- $2 is all it costs for a course of antibiotics that will treat many potentially life-threatening childhood diseases
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit in the US, so your donations are tax-deductible and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes. Please consider donating!
Donate Online
It is quick, easy and safe to donate online, so we hope that you will consider making a contribution! You will be transferred to the relevant website to complete your donation online.
