Drishti Foundation USA is a student-led nonprofit founded in 2020 in Chester Springs, PA by DASD students Aneesh Raparla, Akshara Raparla (Youth CEO), and Reyna Kondaveeti.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Drishti has raised funds and sent medical equipment for impacted communities including schools for the handicapped. In addition, Drishti volunteers have put in service hours for various causes including - teaching financially challenged children, providing audio recordings of books and grocery flyers for the blind, verbally guiding blind people, etc. Drishti has partnered with organizations like Sankara Eye Foundation, American Council for the Blind, and Children's Eye Foundation for the above-mentioned causes.

💙 Strengthening Our Commitment to the Blind & Visually Impaired Community

From December 2025 to February 2026, Drishti proudly donated $11,000 to organizations making a real difference:

• $3,500 to Vision Corps— empowering people with vision loss across central and southeastern PA through rehabilitation, employment pathways, and preventive services that strengthen long‑term independence.

• $6,500 to Royer-Greaves School for Blind— supporting vocational training that helps individuals with visual impairments and complex disabilities build skills, confidence, and greater independence.

• $1,000 to CCABVI (Ccabvi - Chester County Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired) — providing low‑vision equipment, large‑print calendars, and essential home‑visit services that help 480 blind and visually impaired individuals use their remaining vision with confidence.

This impact reflects the passion and hard work of our Drishti Youth NextGen volunteers and their parents, and we are grateful to our partners and supporters for believing in our mission.

Together, we remain committed to expanding opportunities, strengthening independence, and creating meaningful change.

A heartfelt thanks to Chester County United Way for hosting our recent Drishti NextGen Connect meeting at their Leadership Training Center.

🌟 A Long‑Standing Drishti Tradition Continues 🎄☃️🎄

During the December 2025 holiday season, our dedicated Drishti volunteers once again shared the joy of giving by creating Braille holiday cards for students and adults, along with festive greeting cards for the staff at Royer-Greaves School for Blind. ✨💌

A big shoutout to Rohan K for carrying this tradition forward with such heart and leadership. Heartfelt thanks to our wonderful volunteer team— Rhea, Sravan, Shruti, Suria, Harsha, Shrikar, Rohan A, Jiana, Aditri, Aradhya, Advika, Siddharth, and the GV Drishti Club members—for their creativity, compassion, and commitment. ❤️🙌🌟

A special mention to little Jaarun, who, along with his mom Jasmeen, personally delivered the cards and was welcomed with such warmth.

Royer-Greaves School for Blind greeted our volunteers with genuine kindness, creating a heartfelt sense of connection. Their warm reception made this year’s tradition even more meaningful.🤝💙
