Aravind doctors and nurses screen school children and train teachers to recognize the sign of poor vision before it affects a child’s academic performance. Often, the results are miraculous — a child goes from failing in school to straight A’s just because he can see the chalk board or she can read her text book.

Aravind provides the training and screening free of charge, but your donations provide spectacles for children identified with vision problems. A gift of $25 buys five pairs of eyeglasses for school children – and sends them to the head of the class!
