What is Giving Tuesday?

28 November 2023 is Giving Tuesday, the international day of giving after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Today, a generous group of donors will be matching donations. Your gift and its impact can be doubled!*

By donating on Giving Tuesday 2023, you can help us reach more children like seven-year-old Prodinah (pictured above), whose world was blurry because of cataracts. Her vision was so poor that she struggled at school and couldn’t be left alone because she would often get lost.

All Prodinah needed was a straightforward operation. The generosity of supporters like you means Prodinah received a sight-saving cataract operation. The change could be seen instantly: she became a happier and more independent child.

Sightsavers’ regional director for West Africa, Fatoumata Diouf, dreams of leaving conditions like cataracts in the past, so children like Prodinah aren’t at risk of sight loss that could destroy their future. “As a mother, it breaks my heart that children cannot access education because of sight loss and other disabilities,” she says. Watch our video below to see Fatoumata’s Giving Tuesday message.

However, there are children who still urgently need treatment before it becomes too late to restore their sight.

By doubling* your donation on Giving Tuesday 2023, you could help us reach more children like Prodinah. Will you help transform the life of a child with cataracts?
