Project Need : In Bihar-India, school children face significant Health challenges due to a lack
of awareness and limited access to eye care. Many children suffer from undiagnosed and
untreated vision problems that hinder their academic performance and overall development.
Additionally, poor hygiene and sanitation practices, coupled with nutritional deficiencies such as Vitamin A deficiency and anaemia exacerbates their health issues. The absence of
routine eye care screenings in schools means that many conditions go unnoticed and untreated, leading to long-term negative impacts on children's vision and health, ultimately increasing societal burdens.
Proposed Solution : A pilot project will screen 4500-5000 children in 3 government schools in Bihar/Patna for eye conditions and general health issues. Leveraging a partnership with SSLN, The Vision Mission will implement targeted screening programs, train teachers, and conduct early interventions. This initiative aims to eliminate barriers to eye care, detect and treat eye conditions early, and create a sustainable, healthy school environment.

Final statement : We seek your support to improve the eye health of 4500-5000 school children in Bihar/Patna. These children face significant challenges due to limited access to eye care, poor hygiene, and nutritional deficiencies. From September to December 2024, we plan to screen for eye conditions and general health issues in three government schools. Partnering with SSLN, we will train teachers and implement early interventions.
