One of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world is unfolding in Sudan. You might not have heard about it because it is getting very little attention
The National Organization for Ophthalmic Rehabilitation (NOOR) provides the most extensive range of eye care services in Afghanistan. NOOR means Light in Dari.
Since 1966, NOOR has developed medical and surgical training, eyeglass production, technician training, pharmaceutical production, vitamin A deficiency screening, urban ophthalmic hospital management, rural mobile ophthalmic health teams and prevention of blindness education.
Looking Back
Last year we were able to help SERVE purchase a vehicle for their work with Afghan refugees, buy a Roto Tiller for S.E.E.D. in Haiti as well as support St. John’s Schools in India and send funds to Brazil and Tajikistan.
The Ongoing Crisis in Afghanistan
The spring and summer of 1998 brought a devastating earthquake to the mountain areas of Northern Afghanistan. Seventy-five villages with over 100,000 people were affected by the earthquake.
