Community development

Sightsavers’ ultimate aim is that everyone actively seeks eye care services and enjoys a change in quality of life through community development programmes. With the right resources, people can find their own solutions. We strengthen organisations and communities to develop practical and enduring solutions.

We will work to ensure that all eye care and social inclusion programmes are rooted in community development. Here are some key resources which showcase our research findings in this area.

Please note that as we are not registered medical practitioners and do not directly deliver eye care in the countries in which we work, but work with local partners, we are not able to respond to any questions regarding medical issues. Please contact your health service provider for medical advice.
