Better health facilities for persons with disability

SAKSHAM works on multiple fronts to create better health facilities for persons with disability, from assistive-device camps to specialist medical partnerships.

Eye Donation

CAMBA — Cornea Andhatv Mukt Bharat Abhiyan

Donated eyes restore vision in people suffering from corneal blindness. SAKSHAM runs awareness and pledge drives so more people know they can give this gift.

Personal Empowerment

Taking charge of your own destiny

Self-empowerment means making a conscious decision to take charge of one's own destiny — SAKSHAM builds the confidence and skills that make that possible.
