Campaigning

Sightsavers campaigns to change the policies and practices that impact on people who are blind and visually impaired, and deny millions of people the right to good quality eye care and education.

Our projects help tens of thousands of people each year. Yet, there is potential to reach many more by influencing policy decisions with our campaigning work.

In Ireland Sightsavers relies on the public to raise awareness of the issues surrounding poor people's lack of access to healthcare, and the lack of rights for disabled people, by supporting campaigning activities. One voice can be ignored, but if you put thousands of voices together, the message gets through loud and clear.
