Cataract operations performed in cities like Bangalore typically cost between 8000 to 12000 INR  depending on the case and complexity (With Indian lenses being used). With foreign lenses, the cost zooms to 40000 INR. The Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar (RBI) in association with the Globe Eye Foundation are now able to impact & make these surgeries available at a much lower cost of close to INR 3600. Of the 3600 INR amount, government subsidies and revenue from other surgeries take care of INR 2600 approximately of the cost. Through this crowdfunding campaign, I want to raise INR 1000 per surgery to make 20 cataract surgeries happen! These cataract surgeries are mainly for the elderly (65 years and above mainly)  in the rural areas of KOLAR, HOSKOTE & CHINTAMANI. This campaign will impact the rural elderly (both men and women) who are poor and in-need of urgent surgery. JUST 1000 INR from you will GIVE SIGHT to the rural elderly! 

HELP ME RAISE 20000 INR & IMPACT 20 ELDERLY PEOPLE.

The money raised will be given to our partners -  Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar & they will pay the amounts to the NGO – Globe Eye Foundation. Once the money is given, the Globe Eye Foundation will use it to do cataract surgeries for the elderly poor in villages in Hoskote, Kolar & Chintamani areas and share the details with me. I shall then post an update giving you details of the elderly whose eyesight has been corrected so that you know where your money has gone.


CASE STUDY OF A CATARACT SURGERY


ABOUT ME & THIS CAMPAIGN:

I am Sahithi. I am 12 years old and study in class 7 at Delhi Public School, E-city, Bangalore. I read for pleasure and when I feel strongly about anything. I love music and singing, enjoy art and do Math and art, study science, read books  to refresh myself. I am an only child, but will adopt the whole neighbourhood if allowed to. Right now, I am trying to help an elderly person in need. And I need your help.

Pic: This is me

I have undertaken this campaign because I  think the gift of sight is something that is critical to the well being of the elderly poor. The fact that just an INR 1000 contribution can make a difference to the life of an elderly person made me realise that I must do something about it. Further, I believe that healthcare is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone irrespective of their financial condition.

The motto of Delhi Public School is ‘Service Before Self’ and in order to show our dedication to our school’s motto, we have joined the ‘GIVE SIGHT’ campaign .

Once the campaign ends, regular updates will be posted to keep the funders abreast of who received the surgery, the outcome and the progress of the person.

FAQs

Will we get to know details of the elderly who benefitted?

Yes. After the money has been collected it will be transferred by Fueladream to Rotary who will then give it to the Globe Eye Foundation. It will take from 30 to 90 days after that to get details of who the beneficiary was with details of them. Once I get this information from the team at Rotary & Globe Eye Foundation (as they collaborate on this) I shall upload this on the UPDATES section of this campaign. You will then get an alert & can read details about the beneficiaries.

What are the crowdfunding charges?

Fueladream charges 2% for the payment for the payment gateway and 7% as crowdfunding charges. With GST the total comes to 10.62%. There is also an initial fee of 3000 INR which is being waived for us. Of the INR 20,000 a net amount of INR 17856 will be transferred to the Rotary Foundation.

When do I get the receipts?

It takes upto 2 weeks after the campaign is closed for the monies to be transferred. The receipts will start getting processed about 4 to 6 weeks AFTER the campaign is closed and will be sent to you directly.

How does crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.

It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an Idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such a pooling of funds.

You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on a FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.

Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
