Empower Energy Solutions has helped fund vision restoration surgery for over 2500 with cataracts. In 2020 they partnered with The Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP), a company dedicated to solving preventable blindness due to cataracts in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
To date, HCP has provided more than 13 million eye health screenings and completed more than a million surgeries. They also provide education and training, source equipment, and develop eye centers around the world. “Eye care is one of the greatest public health challenges for the 21st century,” HCP states, “Of the more than 36 million people worldwide suffering from unnecessary blindness, more than half are due to cataract – which can be surgically treated. Most of these people live in low to middle income countries, where poor nutrition and limited access to eye care can mean a life limited by needless blindness.”
Asim Hafeez, owner of Empower Energy Solutions believes that business should be a source for good in the world. He partnered with HCP because it has a massive impact on people’s lives, their families and communities to be able to have the gift of eyesight back. It’s also one of the greatest impact returns per dollar donated. A portion of every solar system that his company installs helps fund a cataract surgery for someone with preventable blindness.
For Hafeez, businesses giving back is important because he believes business should be a source for good in the world as its primary objective with profit as its secondary objective.
