Eye for the Future--Finalist in the @15 Community Impact Challenge

Introducing Eye for the Future from Piscataway, NJ. Eye for the Future is one of the 15 finalists in the @15 Community Impact Challenge.




Inspired by scenes of child poverty and lack of education in India, Malvi Hemani began EYE for the Future, a youth non-profit with over 13 chapters at different schools in New Jersey. With the belief that it is possible to change the futures of underprivileged children “in the blink of an eye” if one has the passion to do so, EYE for the Future has held numerous fundraisers such as walk-a-thons, and raised over $17,000 since its founding.




If selected as a Challenge recipient, EYE will continue working toward its goal to impact at least 20,000 children by 2011 by funding their pursuits of education and building at least one school, library, or computer lab. They will put the funds to their current project, building a computer lab with the Helen Keller Institute and Ratna Nidhi Trust for blind children in India. EYE and Ratna Nidhi Trust are splitting the costs of the lab, funding 25 computers with specialized Braille programs.













Between March 15-April 2, 2010, you get to decide which five of the 15 finalist teams of young social entrepreneurs will each receive $5,000 and which five teams will receive $1,500 each to expand their local ventures. So be sure to cast your vote on at15 between March 15 - April 2, 2010.
