Vision Friend Sakib Gore

Sakib Khalil Gore, who started as a truck laborer, founded Vision Friend Sakib Gore in 1992. This visionary organization was born from his firsthand experiences of witnessing curable blindness in rural areas. His own background, growing up in an agricultural household and having to halt his education in the 7th grade due to financial instability, instilled in him a deep sense of purpose to make a positive impact on people’s lives.

Over the years, Vision Friend Sakib Gore has made remarkable strides, providing free eye checkups to 2 million people, distributing free spectacles to 1.5 million individuals, and performing free cataract surgeries for 56,000 people. To bridge the awareness gap, especially in underserved communities, Vision Friend Sakib Gore has deployed a fleet of vehicles that Cover 1,217 villages, towns, and Tribal Hamlets, spreading awareness and conducting Free eye screenings.

The forthcoming Vision Friend Social Center will house the world’s largest cataract and spectacle models to enhance education about eye conditions. Additionally, the newly launched Vision Friend Eyewear initiative aims to offer affordable eyewear in urban areas while promoting eye health awareness.

Through these initiatives, Vision Friend Sakib Gore is transforming the landscape of eye care, empowering communities, and ensuring a brighter, more inclusive future.
