No matter whether young or old, people who can see can play a full and active part in society and shape their own future.
Just €30 can restore a person’s sight with a cataract surgery. Join our campaign and help us give sight back to 3,333 people.
Every five seconds someone loses their sight in the Third World. Every minute a child.
Cataract is responsible for about 50% of world blindness.
Light for the World has saved the sight of more than 500,000 people.
Eyesight can be restored in a 15-minute operation. Light for the World carried out 500,000 operations to give sight back to people who would otherwise be blind in Africa, Asia, Latin America and South East Europe over the past few years.
