“The Marwar region is one of the most populated deserts in the world. Water is scarce and so are the basic services of healthcare and education. Most people are farmers and sell pottery or embroidery to make a living for their families OneSight clinics in the region have been taking place since 2009. Every year it runs three clinics covering 6 villages. The local partner Jal Bhagirathi Foundation has the mission to enable the villages to access drinking water; the partnership with OneSight brings access to the villages and trust of the people. Patients after the care “have been able to earn a better salary, get proper education, earn respect from their neighbors. That’s what all is about: impacting people’s life forever, giving them another chance through a simple pair of glasses”.
