Seva Canada Annual Report 2008-2009

SEVA CANADA SOCIETY
ANNUAL REPORT JULY 1 2008 - JUNE 30 2009
ABOUT SEVA CANADA
Since 1982, Seva Canada has helped communities in some of the poorest areas of the
world develop their own capacity to deliver affordable eye care services. Seva Canada’s
partners in Nepal, Tibet, India, Tanzania and eastern Africa, Guatemala, Cambodia and
Egypt, provide comprehensive eye care programs, centred on cataract surgery, but
including all other eye diseases, and refraction services for glasses.
Seva (say-va) is Sanskrit for service. Seva has helped to create sustainable, economically
viable, locally managed eye care programs that will continue to serve local populations
long after Seva’s involvement is complete.
MISSION STATEMENT
Through compassion in action, Seva Canada seeks to create a better world by volunteer
and professional programs designed to alleviate human suffering – particularly through
preventable blindness.
OUR FOCUS
Our focus is to establish and expand Seva’s sustainable eye care programs with partners in
developing countries. We strive to inform Canadians of our work and to inspire them to join
us, thereby increasing our overall impact on global blindness.
CORE VALUES
We are guided by:
• Respect for cultural, ethnic, spiritual and other forms of diversity.
• Commitment to working with partners in a compassionate way to achieve appropriate
goals.
• Belief that, with adequate resources, all people can meet their own needs.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
For 27 years, friends and donors like you have supported Seva Canada projects in Nepal,
India, Tibet and Tanzania and more recently in Cambodia, Egypt and Guatemala. These
projects have restored sight to more than 1 million blind people, established eye care
centres in remote communities, provided training for local ophthalmologists, and built and
educated volunteer networks throughout our sphere of influence.
I am happy to report that, in spite of the world economic crisis that has occurred most
dramatically during our recent fiscal year, we once again exceeded our budgeted
revenue and increased our program funding. This is all thanks to your unfaltering generosity
coupled with the total dedication of our management and staff.
We believe that everyone is entitled to the Right to Sight. Our work is inspired by the vision
that preventable and treatable blindness in developing countries can, and will be,
eradicated. The challenge is significant.
Approximately 314 million people worldwide live with debilitating low vision and 45 million
are blind. Ninety per cent of the world’s blind live in developing countries. Two-thirds of all
blind people are women and girls. Without major intervention, the number of blind people
will increase to 76 million by the year 2020. Yet 80% of this blindness is either preventable or
treatable.
Having personally witnessed the extreme dedication of our partners and the overwhelming
gratitude of families who have regained a mother, father, son or daughter who can see,
study and work again — sometimes after years of darkness — I am both inspired and
eternally grateful that I have the opportunity to become involved in this life-restoring
program.
Please join us in our quest to restore light to some of the darkest corners of our world. Your
acts of kindness and compassion are at the very heart of our work.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Donors, Supporters and Champions of Seva,
We have had a great year — a great year in financial terms but also in human terms. Our
partners overseas have flooded us with heart-rending and heartwarming stories about the
people we serve. We have tried to share as many as we could throughout the year in our
newsletters, on our website (www.seva.ca) and blog (http://blog.seva.ca). I hope you
have enjoyed them.
I am writing this letter at the beginning of the holiday season when our thoughts turn to the
people who are most important to us and to the gifts we give them to show them how
important they truly are.
These stories are Seva’s gift to you, our donors and supporters. Thank you.
ESTEFANY
Estefany lives in a two-room wooden house with her
three brothers, father and stepmother. She was treated
very badly, not only by her peers at school but also by
members of her family because of her eye conditions.
Her parents had tried to get help for her but her father
makes less than $8 a day. Her stepmother is a maid
and makes even less.
In December 2008, Estefany was brought to Visualiza,
Seva’s partner in Guatemala, and during the visit she
was diagnosed with both strabismus and ptosis.
Strabismus, sometimes known as squint, is a condition in
which the eyes are not properly aligned with each
other. Ptosis is an abnormally low position or drooping
of the upper eyelid.
Estefany had her first surgery in February 2009 for
strabismus and the next week she had surgery for the
ptosis. Her beautiful smile speaks volumes.
KHADIJA
Khadija lives with her parents in a one-room house in
northern Tanzania. She was just one year old when her
mother noticed “white spots” in Khadija’s eyes. She
had no idea what they were or how they might be
treated. Sadly, Khadija was going blind from bilateral
cataracts.
Khadija’s mother had to watch her daughter

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR continued
constantly, even carrying her on her back while cooking
so she could not wander off towards the stove. Khadija
could not tolerate the sun, forever closing her eyes.
People would ask, “Why is your child always sleeping?”
Khadija was not eating well and was bullied by playmates
who took things from her, knowing she couldn’t see.
At first the family turned to prayer, but then Khadija’s
uncle persuaded her skeptical father (who was worried
surgery might cause more problems) to take her to the
Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology in
Moshi. Surgery was postponed twice due to her anemia,
but finally Khadija’s right eye was operated on and, a
week later, her left eye too.
Four months after the surgeries, Khadija’s mother reported
that her daughter, now two years old, was always happy,
lively, and smiling. She herself is more relaxed, able to do
chores while her child plays with friends – so the whole household is more congenial, and
the father is definitely a happier man. He never believed in surgery until he saw that his child
could see again!
On behalf of Estefany and Khadija, thank you from all of us at Seva Canada.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
We work in many different cultural and geographic areas and Seva’s programs in each
country are as unique as the countries themselves. Each program, however, is committed
to particular strategies and themes that have proven to be the basis of a successful model
for delivering sustainable eye care, both in terms of income generation and human
resources, to the world’s most vulnerable people.
Seva’s support to eye care programs follows a ‘life-cycle’ model that includes an initiation
and exit strategy first established in India and further refined with programs in Nepal. Seva
begins by providing consultation and direct service funding, then supports the
development of human resources and the establishment of infrastructure and sustainable
systems. Later, when the programs are fully self sustaining they are transformed into regional
anchors as training institutes. More and more, these institutes are becoming the engines for
positive health change in their regions.
A. SERVICE DELIVERY
1. Strengthening the capacity of eye care programs to provide high-quality, high-volume
and low-cost services.
Cataract remains the leading cause of blindness worldwide and providing cataract
surgical services remains our main program focus and source of cost-recovery income. By
focusing on providing high-quality, high-volume and low-cost cataract services programs,
we achieve the greatest human impact in reducing needless blindness and can support
less cost-effective eye care services.
Childhood blindness services have become a priority, but not because of cost recovery. In
fact, providing these services places a considerable drain on other eye care program
resources. However, in terms of the numbers of years of blindness, the various diseases that
cause childhood blindness when combined together, constitute the second leading cause
of blindness globally. Seva therefore increasingly supports the development of these
relatively expensive services for children and the complex community and family outreach
activities required for prolonged follow-up, often over several years.
Seva Canada works with its Seva US partner to support transformation of existing eye care
programs to follow the successful models demonstrated by the Indian and Nepali partners.
In these activities, the Indian and Nepali partners act as evaluators and mentors to existing
governmental and non-governmental institutions to strengthen and promote optimum
utilization of eye care services, which can lead to financial sustainability in the long term.
2. Community ophthalmology
Seva works with partners to develop and test strategies to increase utilization of available
services. Correctable blindness is a condition of poverty and isolation making its reduction a
social and political challenge. We need active means to connect the majority of blind
people — who live in remote rural areas — with the eye care providers and hospitals
concentrated in the cities.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
continued
Connecting eye care services with the population in need requires active interventions,
often termed ‘bridging’ strategies. Bridging strategies involve investment in community
liaison, both to determine existing health-seeking behaviors and educational opportunities.
In addition, program partners must empower marginalized populations to facilitate the use
of limited resources.
The challenge of breaking down the barriers to access at the community level demands
innovation and experimentation. Seva’s strong support for rigorous socio-epidemiological
studies, allows it to make significant contributions to the global knowledge about effective
strategies to reach populations in need, particularly women.
B. HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Seva helps to build global human resource capacity necessary to meet the demand in eye
care by strengthening the partner training programs: their faculty, teaching methods,
curricula, and results.
More recently, Seva’s Indian partner has taken the next step of training. It promotes and
strengthens regional training institutes to prepare managers, clinicians and other human
resources for delivery of high-volume, high-quality eye care services.
C. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
A large part of Seva’s work is to teach its program partners to develop demonstration
projects that serve as models to assess the cost-effectiveness of their work. In addition, Seva
is strengthening their efforts to document and publish their experiences, both successes and
failures. Our program partners must invest time and personnel in documentation and
dissemination of their results.
D. OUTCOME EVALUATION AND MONITORING
Seva continues to work with each of the program partners to establish adequate datagathering and record-keeping systems and develop protocols for monitoring and
assessment of surgical outcomes. In addition to improving the quality of local services, Seva
increasingly supports partners to share their findings among themselves for mutual learning
and development.
E. PROGRAM EVALUATION
Most Seva partners have adopted internal processes for program design monitoring and
evaluation, as integral parts of their program development. More and more, they are
becoming interested in making the programs more efficient as well as effective. Monitoring
and evaluation therefore is highly inclusive of program partners, and evaluations are
expected as a routine part of work.

LEAVING A LEGACY OF SIGHT
Seva’s vision is a world in which no one is needlessly blind and where those with unavoidable
vision loss can achieve their full potential. As an active member of VISION 2020 and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), Seva is working on the global campaign to eliminate the main causes of avoidable blindness by the year 2020. As an organization
we are growing, getting stronger because of your support. The future is bright and with your
help Seva can do a lot more and bring light and sight to the world’s needlessly blind. We thank
those supporters who have made Seva Canada part of their long-term charitable giving plan
and named Seva Canada Society in their Wills. You too can leave a legacy of sight. If you are
interested in making a bequest in your Will, please contact Penny Lyons at 604-713-6622 or 1877-460-6622 or email [email protected].
