Many people stay needlessly blind because they live in poverty. In developing countries, blindness denies people education, independence and the ability to work – things which can break the poverty cycle. But all this can be changed with as little as $25.
Cataract treatment

In some developing countries, this is all it takes to restore someone’s sight and significantly change their future.
Eye technology
$100
With this money, up to 20 intraocular lenses can be manufactured and used in sight restoring operations.
Surgeon training
$88 /m
over 18 months
This covers the training of a much needed trachoma surgeon in Ethiopia – giving back sight to tens of thousands.
