FAQs

Can I see who my donation will restore sight to?: Unfortunately we can’t follow your donation to one single recipient, but we can assure you your donation will go to helping people in need through our programme and support work.

How is my donation used?: Your donation will be used to support our sight-saving work. This includes eye operations and treatments, training surgeons and eye health workers, and setting up sustainable eye health systems.

For every $1 donated, 76% goes directly towards eye health programmes and public education and 24% is necessary for admin, communication and fundraising costs which allows us to help even more people.

Where does my donation go?: Your donation could be used to restore someone’s sight, but it may also go towards a range of other programme activities like training eye doctors and nurses. These health professionals will then go on to help thousands of people in their community. All of the work we do aims to create sustainable public eye health systems in developing countries.
