About us

Our vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes, and where people with disabilities can participate equally in society.

Sightsavers works in more than 30 countries to prevent avoidable blindness and fight for the rights of people with disabilities.

What we do:

Protecting sight - We prevent sight loss and avoidable blindness in some of the poorest parts of the world by treating conditions such as cataracts and refractive error.

Fighting disease - We help to treat and prevent five debilitating diseases that affect more than a billion people. These are known as neglected tropical diseases.

Disability rights - We promote equal opportunities and we campaign for disability rights so everyone has the chance to receive an education and earn a living.
