My Story

I'm taking part in Sightsavers' First Light for Sight Sunrise Expedition because I believe no one should go blind needlessly from avoidable causes.

Imagine losing your sight bit by bit, and with it your ability to see your loved ones faces, to go to school, to earn a living, or to do some of the things you enjoy.

Globally, the number of people in need of eye care is spiralling. Unless eye health services improve, the number of people who are blind could triple to 115 million by 2050.

Sightsavers aims to address this by providing eye surgery and training eye care workers to provide vital treatment. Since their work began, they have helped to carry out more than 11 million sight-saving eye operations.

To help me support Sightsavers change even more lives by providing sight restoring operations please donate!
