How your donation will help
Every five seconds somebody goes blind in the world. Every 60 seconds that person is a child. It can cost as little as $26 to restore the sight of someone living with blindness in the developing world.
Thanks to the funds that were raised through the Financial Times Seasonal Appeal, we can not only transform the lives of that individual, but also their family and even their community. The funds will be used to support vital eye services, helping us to reach thousands of people worldwide.
