Across the world, 253 million people are blind or visually impaired, yet 75 per cent of all blindness could be prevented or cured. Almost 90 per cent of people with visual impairments live in low or middle income countries. Poverty and blindness are inextricably linked, depriving many people in poorer countries of basic human rights. Sightsavers is one of the world’s leading non-profit organisations dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness, preventing disease and promoting equal opportunities for people with disabilities. We work with local partners in more than 30 countries across Africa and Asia.
