Sightsavers

Sightsavers' vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes, and where people with disabilities participate equally in society.

The organisation prevents sight loss and avoidable blindness in more than 30 of the world's poorest countries, treating conditions such as cataracts and fighting debilitating eye diseases.

It promotes equal opportunities for people with disabilities, and campaigns for disability rights so everyone has the chance to receive an education, earn a living and be happy.

It also works with governments and partners around the world to tackle the problems at the root of avoidable blindness, and works with local communities to support people who need it most.
