There are currently 590 million people at risk from blinding trachoma
Act now!
Act now to help prevent irreversible blindness as well as excruciating pain. There is an estimated backlog of nine million trichiasis surgeries worldwide, of which five million are in Africa. These are people at real risk of going blind if we don't act now.
It costs just £5 for one trichiasis operation.
Alternatively you can help by making regular donations by credit or debit card.
£5 a month could pay for 12 trichiasis operations over the year
£6 a month could pay for 14 trichiasis operations over the year
£7 a month could pay for 16 trichiasis operations over the year
£9 a month could pay for 22 trichiasis operations over the year
£10 a month could pay for 24 trichiasis operations over the year
Our work to treat trachoma is only one example of our work to save sight and change lives. We also provide support for cataract, low vision, river blindness, education and rehabilitation programmes. We will use your donation where it is needed most.
