When Sau began losing her sight, she was devastated. She could no longer walk to the shops or get to church safely on her own. And after teaching for 30 years, she struggled to write lessons on the blackboard.
Sau had cataracts. Thanks to remarkable people like you, a 20-minute operation restored her sight. But in Samoa, there is only ONE permanent eye doctor for the whole country. Which means too many people like Sau are missing out on the specialist eye care they desperately need.
Donate now and you’ll help train the next generation of local eye doctors and nurses in the Pacific.
Your gift will help restore the sight of more people like Sau. And make sure people in the Pacific can access the eye care they urgently need.
Every eye doctor or nurse you help train could go on to restore the sight of hundreds – if not thousands – of people like Sau. And your gift will help end avoidable blindness in the Pacific. Please give generously now.
