Giving the Gift of Sight
Welcome to Kannoli Tharuvom Foundation. Our mission is simple yet profound: to create a blindness-free India by addressing the critical shortage of donated corneas. We are a team of dedicated individuals working to bring light into the lives of those living with corneal blindness. Through strategic partnerships, public awareness campaigns, and a compassionate approach, we turn the selfless act of eye donation into a life-changing reality.
Our Core Initiatives
At Kannoli Tharuvom, we work across key areas to make a meaningful impact
Eye Donation Awareness
Awareness is the very first step toward building a society that embraces eye donation. At Kannoli Tharuvom Foundation, we dedicate our efforts to spreading knowledge in schools, colleges, workplaces, and local communities, ensuring that people truly understand the power and process of donating eyes. Many families hesitate because of myths or lack of clarity, and we believe that by educating them in simple, compassionate ways, we can transform hesitation into hope. Every awareness session we conduct is not just about information, it is about inspiring people to think beyond themselves and recognize that their pledge can give vision, dignity, and a renewed life to others long after they are gone.
Donor Support & Facilitation
Making the decision to pledge your eyes is noble, but ensuring that the wish is fulfilled requires support at the right time. Kannoli Tharuvom Foundation stands by families during these sensitive moments, guiding them with empathy and clarity on how to proceed. We maintain close collaboration with eye banks and medical institutions to make the process smooth, dignified, and efficient. From helping individuals pledge during their lifetime to assisting families when the time comes, we provide both emotional reassurance and practical facilitation. Our goal is to ensure that no pledge goes in vain and that every donor’s wish becomes a living reality.
Vision
Restoration
Behind every pledge and every donation lies the most beautiful outcome the restoration of vision. At Kannoli Tharuvom Foundation, we partner with trusted hospitals and medical institutions to ensure that every donated cornea reaches those who need it most. For someone who has lived years in darkness, the first glimpse of their child’s smile or the chance to walk independently again is nothing short of a miracle. These life-changing transformations remind us daily why our work matters. Each restored vision is not only a personal victory for the recipient but also a testament to the generosity and humanity of the donor who made it possible.
Community Outreach
Our mission does not stop at pledges and donations it extends into the heart of communities. Through health camps, workshops, rallies, and awareness events, Kannoli Tharuvom Foundation builds trust and opens conversations that encourage more people to step forward. Community outreach is where myths are broken, doubts are cleared, and hope is born. It is in these spaces that we meet people who are inspired to pledge, families who are comforted, and communities that come together in support of a greater cause. By being present in the community, we ensure that the message of eye donation is not just heard but truly felt, creating a movement that grows stronger each day.
Connecting Hearts and Helping Hands
Our Vision: Zero Non-Vision in India
Kannoli Tharuvom Foundation, which translates to "We Will Give Sight," is a public charitable trust established in June 2025 with the visionary goal of "Zero Non-Vision in India." We believe that no one should suffer from preventable corneal blindness, especially when the cure is a simple, compassionate act of donation. Our work focuses on bridging the critical gap between the demand and supply of corneas, empowering individuals to regain their independence, and contributing to a healthier, more compassionate society.
