The long-awaited Sankara Eye Hospital, Hyderabad, will be inaugurated in March 2023, and the new 300-bed Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital in MastiChak near Patna, Bihar, is slated for inauguration end of October 2023.
Thanks to your support all these years, the progress at your favorite charity, Sankara Eye Foundation, has been phenomenal - from 8,000 free eye surgeries in 1998 to a projected 330,000 free eye surgeries this fiscal year at our network of 22 eye hospitals across 14 states in India! This has given us the confidence to march towards a sustainable one million free eye surgeries annually by 2030 - Vision 2030! This will not happen without you marching with us.
Towards Vision 2030: March to a Million, 20+ capital projects have been identified, and our top priority is the new R. Jhunjhunwala Sankara Eye Hospital, Varanasi, UP, supported by the family of the Late Shri R. Jhunjunwala. The construction will start this year and will be complete by the end of 2023 in time for an early 2024 inauguration. A major expansion of our flagship Sankara Eye Hospital, Guntur, AP is also on the anvil to double the capacity to 60,000 free eye surgeries annually. Construction will start soon, and the inauguration will be in 2024.
Sankara Eye Foundation is at an inflection point, and our revenue needs to be tripled to fuel Vision 2030: March to a Million. Please become a founding donor of the upcoming Varanasi or Guntur expansion projects and leave a legacy. For the first time in our history, our free surgery needs are higher than what we have raised so far.
We have a new website now and the donation process has been greatly simplified (www.giftofvision.org). Various ways of donation are available including bequests, RMD/QCD, Stocks, etc.
