Restore eyesight to 2000 villagers in India

Dear Supporters,

Greetings from NBJK!!

We started our journey on Global Giving with the aim to restore vision of 1000 poor cataract blind people and and extremely happy to reach the half way mark with the kind support of generous donors like you. We have successfully conducted 500 cataract operations and have restored vision of all the marginalised population we have catered our services under Global Giving, also we are satisfied to say that we are been able to restore vision of around 10,000 cataract patients in the last reporting year i.e., 2015-16. This all has been possible with the trust and unceising support of generous people like you.

Out of the many beneficiaries, Chander was one of them. He was leading a difficult life sufferng from cataract since last 2.5 years but was helpless as did not know how to get better due to his financial situation. He is a marginal farmer and grows on a small piece of land. He has four sons and all of them are married except the younger one who lives with them and supports him in his farming work. 

Life was difficult due to poor eye sight and vision was deteriorating day by day. One day his son came to know about the Eye Screening Camp being organised bu us in their nearby vilage and brought his father there. He was diagnosed of cataract in his left eye and was immediately brough to the hospital in the hospital van for operation: With proper pre tests he was successfully operated the next day on 14th December, 2015 and Chander was discharged from the hospital with instruction of regular follow-up.

With two regular follow-up visits Chander is fine and can see clearly now. He is extremely grateful for the support and says "I believe in humanity and good deeds now, I hope there are more such good people who can support people like me in need. I will inform more people in need regarding the great work carried by you people so more needy people can benefit".

Receiving such feedback inspires us and helps us realise we are moving in the right direction. Please keep supporting us in our efforts towards making a bright and colourful world for as many people as we can.

Hello Supporters,

Greetings from NBJK!! 

Its been a while and I am back to you with our recent progress report regarding our work with your kind support. With the vision to provide quality Eye care services in the remote rural villages of Jharkhand; one of the poorest state in India, NBJK established its two eye hospitals. The hospitals are now a ray of hope for many marginalised population who cannot afford to visit the hospital and get themselves treated. Infact, just visiting the hospital is a big thing for them. As transportaion in the rural areas in not readily available and government facilities are not that developed to cater the needs of the rural people.

Analysing the need and situation, NBJK organises rural Eye Care Screening camps in remote villages on a regular basis and diagnoses patients suffering with Eye diseases. The patients are referred to our Eye Hospital where they are brought in our hospital van, admitted in the hospital and successfully opretaed after pre operation tests. After successful operation they are dropped back to their villages with post medication and guidance for follow-up. The opthalmologists visit the patients for their follow-up in their villages and ensure their vision is back. 

Till date, with support from various donors, NBJK successfully operates around 10,000 cataract patients every year. It is still a drop in the ocean. And we are happy to inform that with support of various donors on GlobalGiving platform we have successfully restored vision of 496 cataract blind patients who are extremely grateful to you for your generous support. 

Samfulwa, is one such beneficiary. She lives alone as she lost her husband 5 years back and her two sons do not live with her. She survives on her Old Age Pension of Rs.500/ month and lives in dire conditions. She was suffering from cataract since last 1 and half year but did not know whom to approach until she visited our Screening camp organised in her village. Today, she can see clearly and do her household chores herself. She is grateful for the support and says "I never imagined to get my vision back, God bless you people for your noble work". 

It gives us immense satisfaction when we hear such feedback and see the happiness on the faces of our beneficiaries. It is a motivating factor for us and we request you to keep supporting us in our endeavours.

With Regards
