    This fundraiser will benefit

    Blue Collar Workers

    from Faridabad, Haryana

Eye Care Equality, founded 2 years ago by Harsh Kedia, a 17-year-old 12th-grade student at The Shriram Millennium School, Noida, is a step towards offering adequate eye care to blue-collar workers who risk losing their vision every day while welding heavy metals and constructing enormous structures without protective eyewear.
With the support of a dedicated team of qualified doctors and volunteers, we organise free eye check-ups at factories to help diagnose and address vision issues at their root. Through these camps, workers receive high-quality reading glasses, prescription eyewear, and free eye drops, ensuring their visual health is safeguarded.

To date, we have tested close to 5,000 workers across 20 locations in four Indian states and Nepal, engaging over 50 high school volunteers in this mission. Our work has been recognized widely, with features in 10 leading newspapers and numerous social media features and awards that celebrate our commitment to social change.

Our founder has received:-
1) Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award by Cluster of Acheivers and presented by Parineeti Chopra
2) Best Young Changermaker First Runner-up Award by Plan India
3) Emerging Leader in Social Welfare Award by Hindustan Times
4) Global Sustainability Award for SDG 8 in Senior Student Category
