A donation of just $8 – the price of a pack of candy canes* – could help save the sight of a child with cataracts. Thanks to your support, reaching our target means more than 106 children could receive vital treatment.

Thanks to our generous supporters and partners, 10-year-old Melia (below) was able to have sight-saving cataract surgery at a temporary surgical camp at Zomba hospital in Malawi.

Will you make one more donation before Christmas?

Your generous gifts will light up our Christmas tree. Now we've reached our $12,500 fundraising target, we could help 106 children like Melia see clearly.

This time of year is about coming together to make a meaningful difference. Will you donate this Christmas and help transform more lives?
