More than 2 billion people have a visual impairment, and around half could have been treated or prevented. Sightsavers is committed to a world where no one goes blind from avoidable causes. Will you join us?
Working with local partners and community volunteers in more than 30 countries across Africa and Asia, our ambitious projects restore sight and help to transform lives. Sightsavers is helping distribute medicines to treat painful diseases which can ultimately lead to sight loss, such as trachoma and river blindness. We also help provide access to sight-saving operations for eye conditions including cataracts.
Sightsavers not only helps to save sight but also improves overall health and quality of life. A child who receives treatment can often return to school, while an adult has a better chance of working for a living. We are helping to break the cycle of poverty and ensure everyone can participate fully in their communities.
Alongside our work to protect sight, we support people with disabilities and fight for their rights to education, employment and voting, and for equal access to healthcare. And with your support, we can do even more.
We know there is a world where no one goes blind from avoidable causes or is excluded from accessing their rights because of a disability. By donating to Sightsavers today, we can build this world together. Please donate today.
91% of gifts to Sightsavers, including donated supplies, go directly to our charity work. The remainder helps grow awareness of Sightsavers and raises more funds for our projects.
