What we do
Four kinds of work, one idea: capability over charity.
We stay with the same villages for years, so that a skill learned, a cure given or a school year completed compounds into something lasting.
A story from the field
She came to the camp for a check-up. She went home able to see.
In 2025–26, RSK helped 115 eye patients receive operations. A further screening camp treated 101 people and supplied 78 pairs of spectacles free of cost.
“My mother could not see clearly for two years. The camp arranged her cataract operation and she came home seeing again.”
