Summary
The article promotes Seva Foundation as an exceptionally efficient charity that restores sight at low cost, citing that 90% of global blindness is preventable or curable and that a $50 cataract surgery can transform lives. The author commits to donating 5% of July revenues to Seva, but no market-relevant investment thesis or trade recommendation is presented.
•90% of the world's blind population lives in low-income countries, and 90% of those cases are preventable or curable.
•Cataracts, the leading cause of blindness, can be fixed with a 20-minute surgery using about $50 worth of materials.
•Seva operates in more than 20 countries, building self-sustaining local eye-care systems rather than just providing funds.
•Last year, Seva's programs reached 7 million people across 20 countries, including the American Indian Sight Initiative in the US.
•Seva's 2024-2025 revenues were $10.3 million against $12.6 million in program expenses, drawing down reserves to expand services.
•Since 1978, Seva has helped 72 million people see, and it holds top ratings from Charity Navigator and CharityWatch.
