Sankara Eye Foundation - Engineering Social Change - December 1, 2013

In this Chaitime we talk to the team from Sankara Eye Foundation, USA and Sankara Eye Care Institutions, India who are working tirelessly to make the goal of Sankara’s mission of eradicating preventable blindness a reality. The guests, Sundar Radhakrishnan, C.N. Srivatsan, Murali Krishnamurthy, Dr. Kaushik Murali and Bharath Balasubramaniam were here in San Francisco to attend the Symposium, “Scaling Up Social Impact,” organized by the SEF. Sankara’s achievements are big but their goals are bigger still. SEF and SECI working together have achieved phenomenal progress. They have gone from one eye hospital and 8,000 eye surgeries to 1 million free eye surgeries this year at nine state of the art hospitals all over India. Their plan is to build 20 hospitals by 2020: Vision 20/20 by 2020. In today’s show, we talk to our guests about the challenges and opportunities they see. Also, we get an in-depth view of the operations, organizational capabilities, and innovations being made by Sankara to provide eye care at a large scale level and make it sustainable. Their effort is not only noticed and appreciated by the patients, volunteers and donors, but also by others. Recently SEF received a four star rating by the Charity Navigator, America’s largest charity evaluator. Tune in to KZSU Stanford 90.1 FM on Sunday, Dec 1st at 3.00pm to get inspired and become part of a movement which is changing the world.
