Sydney Rotary is proud to continue to support Vision Beyond AUS and encourages all our members and supporters to help us raise $10,000 to purchase essential medical equipment that will help amplify the work VBA is doing and help them achieve their target of restoring vision to 100,000 people. 

About Vision Beyond AUS

Roslyn McLeod, the President of The Rotary Club of Sydney in 2011, asked Indy Singh, Executive Chairman of the Fiducian Group, to find a project that would build “international bridges of friendship”. Indy knew of the work of two Australian eye surgeons, Dr Jay Chandra and Dr Purnima Roy, in the small town of Rishikesh, in Northern India. They had travelled there, with a team of volunteers to conduct free eye surgery clinics for the desperately poor of the area. Indy decided that if this work could be organised and coordinated properly, it would satisfy the criteria to be a worthwhile and valuable international Rotary project. With Indy and his company Fiducian assisting in fund raising, and support from the Rotary Club of Sydney, Vision Beyond AUS was formed in 2011 with the aim of supporting the Rishikesh project.

In 2012, Indy established Vision Beyond AUS as a registered Australian Charity, with the objectives of “relieving sickness and distress through the provision of medical assistance and by undertaking relief and sustainable development programs for people in Declared Developing Countries without favouritism or discrimination by race, religion, culture or political persuasion”.

Help us raise much needed funds for Vision Beyond AUS, as they strive to reach their target of restoring eyesight to 100,000 people in developing  countries. So far over 64,000 people have benefitted from VBA's tireless work.
