You're about to discover just how amazing it can be to give the gift of sight. At Sight Savers, they work in the world's poorest countries, restoring sight and giving hope to many adults and children who are needlessly blind.

For over 50 years, we have changed the lives of a great many people in the world's poorest countries. They work alongside local organisations and governments to teach basic eye care skills and hygiene to adults and children. They help to fund eye screening camps, operations, treatments, education, surgical training, as well as supporting rehabilitation programmes.

The effects of their work can be seen in whole communities. They show people how to stop the spread of disease, they also teach adults better eye care for their children, and where children are looking after blind adults, they help them to return to school. In these cases, they restore a feeling of pride and dignity to those who have lost their sight - and work towards giving the sufferers and the people around them a brighter future.

Thanks to Sight Savers and their local partners, nearly 55 million people have been treated for potentially blinding conditions and sight has been restored to 4.75 million individuals.
