"Where Science Meets Purpose..."
I'm Freya Prajapati, a student at Adani International School with a strong interest in medicine, research, and healthcare innovation. I enjoy exploring how scientific ideas can translate into practical solutions that improve patient care and accessibility.
As Co-founder of the Aiding Colours initiative, I work on screening and awareness for colour vision deficiency, helping students and families better understand its academic and career implications.
Through research, innovation, and community engagement, I aim to contribute to more inclusive and patient-centered healthcare in the future.

A Mission for Colour Blindness Awareness, Screening & Support
AIDING COLOURS is a student-led initiative focused on identifying and supporting children with Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD), commonly known as colour blindness—an often-overlooked condition that affects academic performance, confidence, and career pathways.

Colour blindness is often invisible—but its impact is real:
Early detection empowers better learning, adaptation, and informed decisions.
We conduct school-based screenings using standardised tools to detect CVD early.
Students identified are referred to ophthalmologists for detailed diagnosis and guidance.
We conduct sessions for students, teachers, and parents.
We work with schools to adapt teaching methods, reduce reliance on colour-based learning, and create supportive classroom environments.
We have successfully initiated a government-supported pilot project for CVD screening in schools across two districts in Gujarat.
System-level Recognition
State-wide Scale-up
National Implementation
This marks a shift from awareness to policy-driven change.
No child should be misunderstood or left behind due to something they cannot see. We are committed to building an inclusive education system where every child is supported, understood, and empowered.
Join us in creating a future where every child sees opportunity clearly.
