You’ll be transforming lives

Every gift you give helps change lives for people in the world’s poorest countries. Since our work began, your donations have provided 8.7 million cataract surgeries and 529,000 trachoma operations. Our donors have also helped us to support more than 313,000 people with disabilities, enabling them to live full and independent lives.

We think it’s money well spent, and we hope you do too.
