Worldwide 2.2 billion people have a visual impairment, but almost half of this is preventable or treatable. We believe nobody should be blind from avoidable causes, and we want everybody to be able to access eye treatment when they need it, regardless of who they are or where they live.
By fundraising for Sightsavers, you can help fund crucial projects in some of the world’s most marginalised communities. We work hard to prevent sight loss, restore sight and fight for the rights of people with disabilities to go to school, find a job and take part fully in society.
Wondering what your fundraising could do?
£5 could treat or protect 27 people from the blinding infection trachoma - this works out at just 18p per person
£25 could screen a class of children for a range of eye conditions
£33 could pay for an adult cataract operation
