Adult cataract operation €20

Adult Cataract

A cataract operation can be life changing. After an operation lasting just a few minutes, someone who thought they would never see again can regain their sight and their independence. A sight restoring operation can help someone get their life back.

School screening €51

School Screening

Providing screening sessions for school children is an effective way of spotting sight problems early on. Reaching children when they are young gives Sightsavers an improved chance of preventing sight loss. When 75% of the world's blindness is preventable or curable, you can see how vital these screening sessions can be.

White Canes €11

White Canes

A white cane can give a person who is blind or visually impaired greater independence and freedom. Daily routines such as walking to school, collecting water or working in the fields can become possible without assistance.

This gift provides four white canes and mobility training to help people use the canes effectively. Thilaka from Padanthorai, India is 14 years old and uses her cane to get around school and live a more independent life.

So you see, a white cane is much more than just a stick.

This gift can help provide four white canes to assist.
