GoodVision for low
income communities

Our programmes primarily benefit low-income and underserved communities, including people living in rural and semi-urban areas, tribal communities, schoolchildren, workers and other groups who may have limited access to affordable eye care.

We focus particularly on people who face geographical, economic or social barriers to accessing vision services.

We track both reach and impact across our programmes. Key indicators include:

• People screened for vision problems
• Spectacles prescribed and dispensed
• Children reached through school programmes
• Cataract and other eye-care referrals
• People successfully connected to appropriate eye-care services
• Eye camps and outreach programmes conducted
• Vision Centres and local vision entrepreneurs established
• Livelihood opportunities created through our vision-care models

Digital systems are increasingly used to capture patient and programme data, monitor performance and support transparent reporting to partners and donors.

Donations help us expand access to affordable eye care for communities that need it most. Depending on the programme, funds may support:

• Community and school eye-screening camps
• Affordable or free spectacles for people in need
• Vision Centres and outreach services
• Eye-care equipment and technology
• Training of Vision Technicians and local vision entrepreneurs
• Patient referrals and follow-up
• Programme operations, monitoring and impact measurement

We aim to use donor support responsibly and efficiently, with programme expenditure linked to clearly defined activities and outcomes.

Yes. CSR partners can support specific programme areas, geographies or beneficiary groups, with CSR projects being executed through our NGO, GoodVision India Foundation, subject to applicable CSR and regulatory requirements.

Care Netram provides the programme implementation expertise, field network, technical resources and operational support for delivering these initiatives.

Potential CSR areas include:

• Rural and tribal eye-care programmes
• School eye-health and vision screening
• Affordable and free spectacles
• Vision Centres and community eye-care services
• Technology-enabled eye screening and tele-optometry
• Cataract identification and referral
• Training and livelihood opportunities in vision care
• Vision Entrepreneur / NetraSathi programmes

We can work with CSR partners to develop a customised project proposal covering the geography, beneficiaries, activities, budget, implementation plan, measurable outcomes and reporting framework.

CSR funding can therefore support a clearly defined programme, with GoodVision India Foundation providing the eligible NGO framework and Care Netram supporting on-ground implementation.

For CSR partnerships and institutional grants, we provide relevant agreements, utilisation documentation, programme reports and other supporting documents as applicable.
