Four of out five people who are blind don’t need to be. 80% of all blindness is treatable or preventable.

Those most affected by blindness are some of the most vulnerable people in the world – men, women, and children living in poverty. You have the power to them bring out of the darkness.

Sight gives

Opportunity

When a person loses their right to sight, they often lose their job too. Eyesight restores the opportunity for them to work and frees family members from the burden of care.

Education

80% of what we learn happens visually. When a child can see well, they have the ability to reach their full potential in school and realize their dreams.

Independence

When a person has the ability to see, they are able to take care of themselves, contribute to their family, and walk around their villages independently. They are not dependent on family members (often young children) for constant care.
