Charity partner Seva Canada: buy a pair of sunglasses and give back

Seva CANADA

Seva believes that everyone has the right to sight. Founded in 1982, the charity’s mission is to restore sight and prevent blindness in the developing world. Through unique partnerships, Seva works to establish locally managed eye care programs that will continue to serve people and communities long after Seva’s involvement is complete. Pronounced “say-va”, Seva is a Sanskrit word for service.

Why Seva?

“Last year, my mother was diagnosed with advanced cataract, and nearly went blind. As a Canadian citizen she has access to free and quality healthcare that gave her sight back, but that is not the reality for millions around the globe. This is why we chose Seva, so we can have a direct impact on those that are in need of sight.” – Ana C., founder.

Seva and Amevie see a brighter future where the 1.4 million children living with visual impairments are better equipped to enjoy just being alive, and in turn make their worlds a better place.

We wanted to tie-in our success directly to our charity efforts. Every pair of sunglasses that you buy from us gives back a pair of eyeglasses to a child in need. Amevie and Seva want to work together towards a world in which no one is needlessly blind or visually impaired, just because of the unfortunate cisrcumstances that surround them.
