Becoming a Sightsavers corporate partner can change lives around the world and add value to your business. Your generous support can have a huge impact.
Corporate partnerships
Worldwide, 2.2 billion people have a visual impairment, but almost half of this is preventable or treatable.
Sightsavers works in more than 30 countries to treat eye conditions such as cataracts, tackle debilitating diseases and advocate for disability rights. Since our work began in 1950, we’ve helped to carry out 11.8 million sight-saving operations.
But to continue our vital work, we need your support.
A corporate partnership with Sightsavers can add value to your business, gain great publicity and help you fulfil your corporate social responsibility objectives.
