Advocacy
An important part of our work is advocating for change: from changes in attitudes, to positions or policies affecting eye health or disabled people’s rights.
We also help blind people advocate for their rights, and the most effective way of doing this is by working with blind or disabled people’s organisations, such as our partners the Kenya Union of the Blind, and the Tanzania League of the Blind.

World Sight Day
An important advocacy opportunity for us is World Sight Day – celebrated every year on the second Thursday of October, to raise awareness of avoidable blindness.
