Open Eyes Foundation Manimajra Chandigarh (OEFMC), a non-governmental organization (NGO), has been working tirelessly since 2017 to sustain the education of thousands of underprivileged students. The organization collects used books, stationery, and educational materials from households, colleges, schools, and institutions. After sorting and refurbishing these items, they are distributed free of cost to those in need. The foundation establishes mobile, community, and school libraries to enhance learning accessibility and supports the educational expenses of orphans, single-parent children, and other underprivileged students, ensuring their education continues without interruption. With a mission to bridge educational gaps, OEFMC strives to create a future where every child has access to knowledge and opportunities. Registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, and certified under Sections 80G & 12A, OEFMC continues to drive lasting, meaningful change, empowering individuals to build a better tomorrow.
This initiative repurposes discarded books and stationery to support underprivileged students, bridging educational gaps and covering essential educational expenses to ensure accessible education for all.
