Mission Statement
We work to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote the rights of people with disabilities.
About This Cause
We aim to ensure people gain access to eye health services and receive the eye treatment they often desperately need. Every year we support millions of sight saving operations and treatments for people in some of the poorest communities in Africa and Asia, working with partners to establish eye care systems that will last. Each sight saving cataract surgery we support costs as little as £30, but opens up new opportunities for entire families. We also work to promote inclusive education, giving all children the chance to go to school. We support the inclusion of adults with disabilities through projects focusing on economic empowerment and political participation. Our work has enormous impact – this year we are on course to have extended eye care services to over 12.5 million people and carried out nearly 390,000 sight saving operations. We are also leading efforts to eliminate painfully blinding diseases like trachoma and river blindness by 2025. This year alone we are on track to have delivered 78 million treatments for these diseases.
