How can you help?
Your donation will buy instruments and supplies for future projects and provide travel stipends to young ophthalmologists interested in helping the medically underserved.
The Fiat Lux Foundation is run entirely by volunteers. Since there is no paid staff, we keep our administrative costs to a minimum. Nearly all donated funds go directly to supporting our educational and medical delivery efforts.
