The Miracle Club

"Some miracles are no longer considered the stuff of myth and legend. In countries all over the world, blind people have heard of the miracle. They have heard of Fred Hollows; they have heard about our work. They have heard we are coming" - Dr Sanduk Ruit, Nepalese Eye Doctor and Director of Tilganga Eye Centre

Why we need your support

  • 3 out of 4 people in the developing world are living with avoidable blindness due to lack of access to simple treatment and routine surgery
  • On average, a person living with blindness in the developing world will die within four years of going blind
  • Regular monthly gifts allow us to plan our work more effectively in the long term, reducing our costs even further

The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ Miracle Club is quite simply about miracles - the miracle of helping a blind person see again. You can change the future of people living with blindness each and every month by joining The Miracle Club.

We are grateful for each and every donation that is made towards The Foundation's work - big or small. But if you have ever thought about making a commitment to give regularly, please give now.

  • The poorest of the poor in countries like Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Vanuatu who are blind due to poverty and isolation, and only need routine treatment to restore their sight, dignity and independence
  • Of the more than 40 million blind people who live in the developing world, there are others, usually children and most often girls, who miss out on an education or other life options to care for them.
  • Ophthalmologists, eye nurses and eye health technicians in developing countries who need training, facilities and equipment to carry out their sight restoring work
