“It feels miraculous to watch people regain their sight, but it's a miracle that we can all make happen. Seva Foundation, the Grand Prize Winner of this year's Holiday Impact Prize, is transforming people's lives for as little as $50 per cataract surgery.”

“Seva has given so much help to so many people for so many years – such a wonderful example of love in action.”

“Great news from my friend @NickKristof. The winner of his #HolidayImpactPrize is @Seva_Foundation for their decades of work restoring the sight of millions. Congratulations! And remember, doing good for others can also be good for your own health!”

“Seva has made an extraordinary contribution to the world – not only through their international programs, but here in some of the most impoverished communities in North America, on Native American reservations. Thank you Seva.”

“Seva takes the impulse towards generosity and turns it into compassionate action that helps people in real need. I honor my friends and relations by giving to Seva in their name – the entire world benefits. I hope you'll join me.”

“Compassion and caring for people in need - that's simply a moral necessity. But it's not always easy to do. Seva makes it easy. They know how to put your donations to work in ways that truly benefit people.”

“I admire Seva's spirit of innovation. Seva is constantly looking for new ideas that can benefit the world, especially the poor, and they aren't afraid to try something that no one has ever tried before.”

“I congratulate Seva Foundation for the magnificent work they continue to do.”

“Seva has done an incredible job all over the world helping people who really need it. I am proud to be one of the many who followed Wavy and his friends down this particular yellow brick road.”

“Such dedication to others — how could you not love Seva and what they accomplish? Well done!”
