IT LEVERAGES THE POWER OF SPORT TO BREAK GENDER BARRIERS AND ENGAGE RURAL GIRLS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES. FOOTBALL SERVES AS AN ENTRY POINT TO CHALLENGE DEEPLY ROOTED SOCIAL NORMS, FOSTER CONFIDENCE, AND BUILD TRUST WITHIN COMMUNITIES. ONCE ENGAGED, THESE GIRLS ARE OFFERED COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO BECOME QUALIFIED OPTOMETRISTS. UPON COMPLETING THEIR TRAINING, THEY JOIN AKHAND JYOTI'S WORKFORCE, CONTRIBUTING DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL'S BLINDNESS ELIMINATION MISSION. BEYOND TECHNICAL TRAINING, THIS PROGRAM EMPOWERS GIRLS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR FUTURES, BREAKING CYCLES OF POVERTY AND INSPIRING OTHERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. 25000 25000 EYE CARE PROVIDERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FACE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES IN DELIVERING SERVICES TO ALL WHO NEED THEM. HOSPITALS ARE OFTEN INACCESSIBLE TO REMOTE COMMUNITIES, AND WHILE EYE CAMPS ARE USEFUL, THEY TYPICALLY SEE LOW ATTENDANCE. AKHAND JYOTI USA SUPPORTS AKHAND JYOTI EYE HOSPITAL TO ADDRESS THESE BARRIERS BY ESTABLISHING VISION CENTERS (VC) TO SERVE RURAL, MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WITH ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE EYE CARE. OVER 80% OF PATIENTS AT THESE CENTERS ARE FULLY TREATED ON-SITE, WITH LESS THAN 20% REFERRED TO BASE HOSPITALS FOR SURGERIES OR ADVANCED CARE. SINCE LAUNCHING ITS FIRST VISION CENTER IN 2009, AKHAND JYOTI HAS ESTABLISHED OVER 40 CENTERS, COVERING A POPULATION OF NEARLY FOUR MILLION ACROSS BIHAR. THESE CENTERS ARE INTEGRAL TO AKHAND JYOTI'S 'FOOTBALL TO EYEBALL' GIRLS' EDUCATION PROGRAM, EMPOWERING WOMEN AS OPTOMETRISTS AND ENTREPRENEURS. FEMALE-LED VISION CENTERS CHALLENGE PATRIARCHAL NORMS WHILE ENSURING HIGH-QUALITY EYE CARE IN UNDERSERVED AREAS. 50000 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 4086855504 960 BLUEBONNET DRIVE SUNNYVALE CA 94086 X ASHOK DESAI PRESIDENT 20.00 X X 0 0 0 KRISHNA JHAVERI SCY & CFO 20.00 X X 0 0 0 PREENA SONI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.00 X X 0 0 0 ANISA DAFTARI ADVISORY BOARD 10.00 X 0 0 0 RITA DIBBLE ADVISORY BOARD 10.00 X 0 0 0 JAYESH PAREKH ADVISORY BOARD 10.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 208815 208815 FEES REFUNDED 900099 3997 3997 3997 212812 3997 0 0 50000 50000 5447 5447 BANK FEES 121 121 CA DOJ 25 25 55593 50000 5593 0 18911 76130 100000 18911 176130 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 18911 176130 18911 176130 18911 176130 157219 0 X 0 0 0 X 1471 25500 208815 235786 1471 25500 208815 235786 235786 235786 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 SOUTH ASIA PROGRAM SERVICES WOMEN EMPOWERMENT & PRIMARY EYE CARE 50000 0 0 0 0 0 0 50000 0 50000 SOUTH ASIA WOMEN EMPOWERMENT & PRIMARY EYE CARE 50000 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PART I, LINE 2: TO ENSURE THAT OUR DISTRIBUTIONS TO FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS ARE USED IN FURTHERANCE OF OUR EXEMPT PURPOSES, THE BOARD WOULD EXPECT TO RECEIVE REGULAR REPORTS FROM RECIPIENT FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS (INCLUDING AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) SETTING OUT THE PERFORMANCE STATUS OF ACTIVITIES WE WILL SUPPORT.
