Why support Sightsavers?
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.
By donating to 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 donation could do?
- In a year, £5 a month could treat or protect 324 people from the blinding infection trachoma – this works out at just 18p per person
- In a year, £10 a month could fund an operation for a patient with advanced trachoma
- In a year, £15 a month could pay for five operations for adults with cataracts
