As part of Rotary's global reach, The Rotary Club of Redditch is raising funds for a Mobile Eye Unit, to provide vital services to people in rural Eastern India.

The Mobile Eye Unit will help many poor and needy people in Eastern India and will prevent blindness in diabetics and other retinal diseases like Eales disease.

Each van with the Ophthalmic equipment will cost around £55,000. The long term aim is to fund three vans, but the current campaign is to raise funds for the first van.

Funds raised by The Rotary Club of Redditch, up to our target of £8,000, will be matched by a Rotary Foundation Grant, with Rotary Clubs in Eastern India also involved, both in funding and rolling out the programme.
