Community Organization Spotlight

Today across 75 locations in India, Vision-Aid teams are working tirelessly to help thousands of underprivileged individuals with incurable visual impairments, children afflicted with debilitating cortical cerebral visual impairments (CVI) and the totally blind to live with greater independence and dignity.

Our dedicated team of professionals—from ophthalmology, optometry, computer science, teaching, finance, counseling and arts – along with our skills development programs, partnerships with India’s 20 leading Eye Hospitals, 50 Blind Schools and Community Organizations has earned us the “Best Non-Profit Organization of 2024” by NECA, and a 100/100 4 Star rating by the highly respected Charity Navigator organization.

Vision-Aid’s tailored education, individualized mentoring and job placement initiatives have significantly enhanced their digital literacy and employability. Vision-Aid’s innovative initiatives are delivering cutting-edge assistive technology to thousands of visually impaired individuals, unlocking new paths to education and independence.

Infosys Foundation’s innovation award winning AI Smart Vision Glasses (SVG) have revolutionized accessibility for the blind by enabling them to read in 50 local languages, recognize currency denominations, common objects and have significantly increasing their mobility.

Our initiatives aim to bring us closer to a more inclusive India for persons with visual challenges. They can now enjoy productive and safer lives, pursue higher education institutions, aspire for positions in prestigious corporations and pursue their ambitions with added self-confidence.

This year, Vision-Aid in partnership with the LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) is providing comprehensive vision screening, free spectacles, advanced eye care, and rehabilitative support (including CVI) to over 50,000 children in rural and tribal regions of Odisha. We are very grateful to our gracious supporters, team members and partners.

As we look to the future, our goal is to engage and inspire more eminent Hospitals, Corporations, Government and Community Services organizations to join us in reaching many more underserved remote areas and deliver individualized assistive tools and education to underprivileged individuals.
