Good vision helps people live, work, learn, and dream with confidence. To support this initiative, Ford Motor Company — Ford Philanthropy ran the Community Eye Care Project from April 2025 to March 2026. Ford Motor Company partnered and worked with the Blind People Association, Ahmedabad, to bring eye care to villages in Sanand Taluka and Ahmedabad District. Many people in rural areas struggle to get eye checkups due to cost, distance, and lack of awareness. Aiming to reach out to communities, the project used a Mobile Eye Van with modern tools like a slit lamp, auto refractometer, and non-contact tonometer. The van started on April 24, 2025 and traveled to villages to provide free eye screening, early detection, and minor eye surgery. A community eye care project also helped special-abled people get disability certificates, access government schemes, and find self-employment support. 

Ford employees volunteered for multiple camps and awareness drives. In one year, the project covered 70 villages and held 40 camps. It screened 8,369 people, gave 3,464 spectacles, performed 265 surgeries, and provided medicines to 4,841 people. The team also gave 50 self-employment kits and 30 tricycles to differently-abled people and ran special camps for children in various schools and communities. By bringing care to people’s doorsteps, Ford helped improve health, confidence, and opportunity for thousands.
