You’ll be transforming lives

Since Sightsavers’ work began, your donations have provided 8.3 million cataract operations, and 502,000 operations to treat advanced trachoma. Our donors have also helped us to support more than 289,000 people with disabilities, enabling them to go to school, find a job and take part fully in society.

We think it’s money well spent, and we hope you do too.
