Summary of the Filing
Where the work happens
Even though Covid-19 prevented us from performing surgical campaigns for six months of 2020, the year ended with a record 565 sight-restoring surgeries. During the six months of lockdown, we focused on eye team infrastructure and introduced a new van and trailer.
Of all of our programs, our agriculture program was affected the least during the Covid 19 pandemic. We trained 19 students in modern organic agriculture - the highest number of any year. We also built up our infrastructure by completing our teams housing and the construction of a new road.
The Covid 19 lockdowns prevented us from performing surgeries for six months, but it did not prevent us from sharing the gospel. We added two new evangelists to the team and did outreach in many rural villages. Once the lockdowns were lifted, the ministry team traveled with the eye team to minister to those impacted by eye surgeries.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
