We wish to raise £1m to help restore sight in those suffering from cataracts
Cataract is the world’s leading cause of blindness. Around 20 million people are blind as a result
Cataracts cannot be prevented but they can be treated simply and cheaply
The problem
Cataracts are caused by age-related cloudiness of the lens
Although rare, cataracts can occur in children
Children may also have to miss out on school, to act as carers for grandparents with cataracts
Treatment
A 20 minute operation costs £3-30 for adults or £27 for children
We work with charities already in the field [such as Sight Savers International - SSI] to carry out the operations - we do NOT have any admin costs and we do not allow charites we work with to use our grants on admin or marketing - Only operations.
Below is an example of our work via SSI; thank you for your help
