seva canada society
Seva Canada is an international non-governmental organization whose mission is the
elimination of preventable and treatable blindness. Seva Canada Society
was founded in 1982 to eliminate preventable blindness and restore
sight. Seva provides funding and expertise to partners in 7 developing
countries: Nepal, Tibet, India, Tanzania, Guatemala, Cambodia and Egypt
- to deliver community and clinical eye care programs that reach the
most vulnerable populations – women and children, the very poor and
those living in rural areas. Seva (pronounced say-va) is a Sanskrit
word for service; we believe in compassion in action. Through our
partners, Seva is creating sustainable, economically viable, locally
managed eye care programs that will continue to serve local populations
long after Seva’s involvement is complete. Planeterra partners with Seva Canada through our Tibet Eye Camp Project.
