Put Us in the Picture is Sightsavers’ campaign calling on the international community to make sure global development is inclusive of people with disabilities.
There are one billion people around the world who have a disability.
Of these, 800 million live in developing countries where they have limited access to health care, education and employment, and often face stigma and discrimination.
Put Us in the Picture campaigns for people with disabilities in developing countries to be given the same opportunity to learn, earn and be happy as everyone else.
The campaign aligns with the UN’s Global Goals that aim to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality.
How will our campaign help?
At the heart of it, our campaign is about people. If people with disabilities are properly considered when international development decisions are made, it can change lives, families and communities, and its impact is beyond measure.
Put Us in the Picture exists to fight for a future full of opportunity for the 800 million people with disabilities living in developing countries. It couldn’t be more important, and your support is essential in making it happen.
