Our Big Idea
January 31: A Day for Sight
The club supports establishing January 31 as the International Day for World Without Childhood Blindness (IDWWCB), linking Dr. V. K. Raju’s eye-care journey that began on January 31, 1977 with a global movement for children.
Our Call to Action
Don't just see the problem. Help a child see.
A message to every young Rotaractor
You don't have to be an ophthalmologist to fight childhood blindness. You can be a communicator, fundraiser, volunteer, technology enthusiast, community organiser, student or leader. You just need to care enough to act.
