DUCSHOP BLIND FUND
Since
opening its doors Ducshop has concentrated its efforts on raising money for
surgical eye camps in
Tibet
. To date it has raised
$9,000, enough to sponsor an eye camp from
Nepal
to go into the Tibet
Autonomous Region.
Half
of the population of
Tibet
is blinded by treatable
cataracts by age 70. Cataract surgery is relatively easy and inexpensive but
approximately 80% of the Tibetan population lives in impoverished, rural areas
and the standard of healthcare available to them is far below what most would consider acceptable. Click

Over the course of a single week, an eye camp, run by the Tilganga
Eye Center, can perform as many as 700 cataract surgeries. Ducshop
aims to sponsor one of these camps each year.
We are organizing several activities this year in which to raise funds:
