Sightsavers works to combat blindness in developing countries, restoring sight through specialist treatment and eye care. We also support people who are irreversibly blind by providing education, counselling and training. We help the people who need it most - those living in poverty in some of the world's poorest countries.

75% of all blindness in the world could be easily avoided; 90% of children who are blind don't go to school. We need your support to help change these statistics. Just £5 could pay for lid surgery for trichiasis, stopping the pain and protecting sight. £9 could pay for 4 white canes giving people who are blind more independence. £15 could save the sight of 50 families at risk of contracting river blindness. £17 could pay for a cataract operation to restore the sight of one more person. Your support could have a huge impact on someone’s life in the developing world.
