About Us

Rationale

There are 39 million people across the globe that is blind.India is now home to the world’s largest number of blind people with 15 million persons. (WHO 2010)

As regards our home State of Karnataka, a national survey on blindness has shown that barely 50 per cent of the people in Karnataka have near normal vision and prevalence of blindness is more than the national average.Covering 40,000 people all over the country, including 3,200 in Karnataka, a survey by the National Programme to Control Blindness has pointed out that 13.7 per cent of the population in the State suffers from blindness as against the national average of 8.5 per cent. Thus we cannot be blind to this issue. It needs our immediate attention.

“There is no greater joy than to see someone getting sight or shelter or food. It is a blessing when it happens through you.”

Fr George Kannanthanam — Director

Mission Statement

Our mission at Champion school is to develop the unique abilities and potential of each child by offering an enriched educational program. We strive for excellence through a hands-on approach. Rich traditions rooted in our innovative curriculum grow productive, caring, and intellectually curious citizens.

We have a culture that is modern, relevant, and inspires students to have a brighter future. We are determined in our approach to learning, are creative in our thinking, and bold in our ambitions.

Our Philosophy

We, at Champion School, follow a child-centered educational approach. We make sure that it is based on scientific observations from birth to adulthood. We believe that a child is naturally curious and is capable of initiating learning in a supportive and thoughtfully prepared environment.

Scope of Work

There are different areas of work for the people with visual problems that offer great possibilities for us to contribute positively. The main scope is in the line of eye donations. At present approximately only 35,000 corneas are collected in India every year, whereas 150,000 are required annually to combat corneal blindness. As a result, the patient line-up and wait to get a corneal transplant keeps getting longer with each passing day. Furthermore, the cost of cornea transplant in addition to unavailability for corneas makes it practically impossible for underprivileged people to access these medical remedies.

Another area of work will be to get the permanently blind person to lead a better life. There is a huge dearth of trained person to deal with disability issues. Advocacy work needed to ensure the rights of persons with blindness. The global fact that 82% of the persons with disabilities belong to the economically weaker section of the society, calls us to focus on this segment. Providing affordable eye care to the rural population is another area of interest. We have particularly selected to work for the rural areas beyond Bangalore city where a campus for their treatment and rehabilitation is being developed.

Dreaming for the unseeable!

The fact of every third of the 39 million blind in the world being an Indian challenged us. A group of fifty of us took the challenge.

The outcome was The Project Vision.

A new vision was needed. We came out with a movement model. An army was needed to make it successful. We invented the concept of Vision Ambassadors. We knew that creative programs were critical to spread the message. We did worlds’ first Blind Walk.

We knew that the visually challenged needed our caring touch. We organized the VISION15 New Year program for them. We knew only advocacy can make major changes. We organized the World Sight Day with the Union Health Minister. Many had made lifelong commitment to the field. We instituted the Project Vision Awards. Eye care and rehabilitation of the visually challenged beyond Bangalore is a major challenge. We have started to establish a world class center. An eventful first year of Project Vision has been completed. Here is our annual report. You journeyed with us and made it possible. THANKS.

Achieving great feats need a great deal of planning. We have put our minds together to compile our dreams for the next five years. Vision 2020 Strategic plan of The Project Vision is presented here.

TOGETHER, WE CAN. WITH YOU, WE WILL.
