Sightsavers works in some of the poorest areas of the world to protect sight, prevent avoidable blindness and fight for the rights of people with disabilities.

How will it make a difference?
By donating to Sightsavers, you could help to provide a cataract operation or protect an entire family or community against diseases that cause painful and needless blindness.
These operations and treatments can transform people’s lives. You could give a person back their independence and means of earning a living, or enable a child to attend and fully participate in school. Your support can be truly life-changing and we’re so grateful that you’re considering making a donation.

For only £60 we can provide treatment to protect an entire community from agonising trachoma.

For just £10 we can provide a simple antibiotic treatment to protect 50 families from river blindness.

As little as £30 can pay for a straightforward operation to restore the sight of an adult with cataracts.


Sightsavers is a leading charity tackling blindness in developing countries. They work with partners in more than 30 countries around the world on the root causes of avoidable blindness, such as lack of access to clean water. Their mission, with the help of local people, is to strengthen healthcare systems to ensure they’re able to support their communities for the long term.
With the help of local partners, they distribute treatments for diseases, and carry out operations and eye examinations. they are also committed to fighting for the rights of people with disabilities.
Since 1950, your donations have enabled sightsavers to distribute 

478 million treatments to protect against river blindness, provide 

7.3 million sight-restoring cataract operations, and empower more than 225,000 people with disabilities to live independently.
