Where We Work? ---Mumbai Slum Program

 
     
also see Dang Tribal Program
     
Mumbai is the commercial capital of India and a city which receives approximately 2000 migrants every day. 
The rise in the influx of population has led to inadequate housing facilities and its interrelated challenges, leading to the development of shanty colonies & slums.
     
People who live in these urban slums remain vulnerable to health and eye problems due to poor environmental sanitation, lack of basic amenities, ignorance and poverty. These health challenges are closely linked with social, economic and educational factors.
     
Our model of Comprehensive Eye Care therefore has an integral component of Community Development which tackles these underlying factors and leads to sustainable human development.
 
     
Over the past 25 years we have successfully implemented the Comprehensive Eye Care with Community Development Program in 17 slum pockets of Mumbai, 4 of which are currently under active intervention.
