Aravind Eye Care System

Aurolabs, the manufacturing division of Aravind, have developed their own mechnisms of making cataract surgery lenses for 4$ as compared to 100$ out west. Not only has this brought new light to many blind eyes of the poor in India, but the products are even exported to over 80 countries. If somebody cannot afford to pay for the surgery, that is fine too, because everybody who pays, is able to cover the costs of two others who are unable to pay. If getting eye treatment is difficult in the village, people are given free transportation to Aravind eye clinics, and free lodging for the assistants too.

Such dedication to the cause is unbelievable. I just watched a video about this, and I was rendered speechless.
