Sightsavers' vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes and where visually impaired people participate equally in society. Working with partners in developing countries, Sightsavers helps provide treatment, education and training for blind and visually impaired people.

Story

This women’s-only 10km mini-marathon, held on May 31st 2020, starts in Dublin’s Fitzwilliam Street and takes a scenic route round the city. 

A single donation of €5 could provide treatment to protect 10 children against blinding trachoma. A gift of €32 will help carry out a life changing cataract operation. Whatever you decide to give, you could transform the future for people living in some of the poorest parts of the world. We need you! 

Thank you for supporting us, we couldn't do it without you. Choosing to support Sightsavers will help transform lives and every gift will make a difference. 75% of blindness could be prevented or cured. That's over 27 million people who are needlessly blind - most of whom live in the poorest countries in the world. You can help change this!

We want avoidable blindness to be eliminated. We want equality for people with disabilities. We help blind people to see again, and prevent people from going blind wherever we can.

Your support, no matter how big or small, can help make a huge impact in the world.

A donation of €20 is enough to treat and protect a whole community against river blindness.

Just €50 can pay for an operation to save a child's sight who is suffering from trachoma.
