I-Care: UV Protection for Ladakh's Communities

Donation protected
We are part of the Impact Youth Club, California branch where we‘re committed to empowering youth and creating meaningful change in our communities.

In the high-altitude communities of Ladakh, India, eye health is at serious risk. With every 300 meters of elevation, UV exposure increases by 4%, and the glare from snow only intensifies it. Yet, access to protective eyewear in these remote areas is limited.

This summer, we’re raising funds to bring over 1000 pairs of sunglasses and protective goggles to Ladakh. These aren’t just accessories-they’re essential for preventing both short-term conditions like photokeratitis and long-term damage including cataracts, pterygium, and dry eye syndrome.

Even a small contribution can help protect someone’s eyesight in a place where the sun’s impact is unavoidable. Thank you for being part of this effort.
