Why choose Sightsavers?

We’re proud to be a leader in our field, with more than 70 years of experience. Our projects consistently achieve high ratings from the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

• We take a sustainable, evidence based approach to help us build the capacity of health, education and employment services so they are more inclusive.
• We are respected and influential in developing and implementing disability-inclusive health and education policy frameworks.
• We lead global programmes to control and eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), directly supporting distribution of treatments.
• We have a comprehensive network of trust-based partnerships with ministries of health, education and social welfare, the private sector and local civil society.
• Gender is a central concern in all our projects. We collect gender-disaggregated data to monitor performance, and develop strategies to address the double discrimination of women and girls with disabilities.
• We are a recognised research organisation, and our innovative disability data disaggregation strengthens the evidence base for policy and programming.
