80% of blindness is curable or preventable, yet 36 million are needlessly blind.Blindness is particularly devastating in the developing world where it has a profound impact on the quality of life for the blind person and his or her community. Life expectancy of the blind is usually less than half that of someone with eyesight the same age. In the least-developed countries, 50% of avoidable blindness cases are due to cataract.

While many health problems cannot be cured, cataracts is the exception. With a one time, low-cost surgery a patient's sight can be restored. At KAYU, we believe that no person should remain blind just because they lack funds. That's why -
