Thank you, @NickKristof, for helping to shine a light on our latest study's findings! Eye care is a critical tool to alleviate poverty, and needs to be part of every effort to build healthier, more resilient societies.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

An underrated element of global poverty is blindness -- because of cataracts, vitamin A deficiency, river blindness, trauma, trachoma and more. These are often preventable, very cheaply, and there has in fact been huge progress in several of these. A new Seva study estimates $1 trillion in annual productivity losses from uncorrected vision in low- and middle-income countries. A pair of glasses or cataract surgery can transform a life—and an economy. Here's Seva's study: https://t.co/M4b2iK8cam

1/This leap year, will you have an extra day or an extraordinary day?

Leap into action and use this extra day to do some “extra good.” Your support can transform someone’s life through vital eye care–like it did for Priya.

[SEVA FOUNDATION @Seva_Foundation]

2/Thanks to a door-to-door eye screening at Priya’s home, she was diagnosed with a refractive error, referred to our partner hospital for surgery, and received a pair of eyeglasses.

Now, with restored sight, Priya is back in action living life to her fullest.
