 Miriam Hyman was 32 when she was killed in the 7/7 London bombings  The Miriam Hyman Memorial Fund (MHMF) was set up within the sight-saving charity, ORBIS UK, from 2005 to 2007

 Miriam discovered in her teens that she was slightly short- sighted  She said that clarity of vision was a revelation to her when she first wore glasses.

Being an artist and loving nature, Miriam very much appreciated her own eye care services, and their impact on her quality of life.

“So we decided to set up the Miriam Hyman Memorial Trust to invest in a more tangible vision-based project”

 The MHMT became a UK registered charity (No ) in May 2008  The MHMT donated £112,500 to equip the Children's Eye Care Centre  Then it was named the Miriam Hyman Children’s Eye Care Centre and her family felt they had created a living memorial.

 Inaugurated on 3rd July, 2008 within the L V Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha  The MHCECC is committed to providing high-quality comprehensive eye care and rehabilitation to children, irrespective of their families' ability to pay

 The ONLY paediatric eye care facility in the state of Odisha  Equivalent population to England (around 50 million)  Children under 16 comprise approximately 45% of the total population

Making a significant impact on prevention and treatment of eye conditions and rehabilitation of patients for thousands of children who would otherwise have little access to eye care. There is an average of 10,000 Outpatients appointments and 1,000 surgeries at the MHCECC every year.

 The MHMT continues to use donations to help support the MHCECC and its Outreach Programme, taking services into communities, especially to schools, villages and slums.

 The MHMT’s altruistic activities in Miriam’s memory have nurtured the seeds of caring and generosity that Miriam sowed during her lifetime.  With your help these seeds will continue to grow through the work of the Miriam Hyman Children's Eye Care Centre.
