Eye Restoration Initiative – YTDS × Fidelity National Financial

Youth Talent Development Society (YTDS), in partnership with Fidelity National Financial (FNF), implemented a large-scale eye restoration initiative focused on reducing preventable blindness through structured cataract surgeries and accessible healthcare support for underserved communities in Karnataka.

The Challenge
