Giving Tuesday

Update: we have reached our match pot target of £47,000!

Donate now to our Giving Tuesday campaign and help us reach more children like four-year-old Chancy (pictured above) in Malawi.

Chancy was born with cataracts in both his eyes. His mother Felister noticed something was wrong when he couldn’t find his toys and he struggled to play with other children. One of Chancy’s greatest joys is football, but he often missed the ball and injured his toes because cataracts impaired his vision. Felister worried what his future would look like if he didn’t receive treatment.

In Malawi, cataracts are the biggest cause of blindness but many families face barriers when accessing treatment, such as a shortage of paediatric ophthalmologists and the cost of travelling to a hospital. The kindness of supporters like you helped Chancy receive the sight-saving cataract operation he urgently needed. Your donation helps make surgical outreach camps possible, bringing specialist eye care directly to remote communities.

Help us reach more children who still urgently need treatment before it becomes too late to save their sight.

Your donation, which may be doubled on 2 December, could help reach more children like Chancy. Help transform a child’s life today.

About our Giving Tuesday appeal

Thanks to an incredible response to our Giving Tuesday appeal, we’ve secured an extra £15,000 in match funding! Donations made to our Giving Tuesday campaign will be matched by a generous group of supporters, now up to a total of £47,000. New regular donations made through the Giving Tuesday campaign will be doubled for the first year. Any donations made after the maximum amount has been reached will count towards the campaign total but will not be doubled. Sightsavers reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time.

Please note: the maximum amount has now been reached. Donations will continue to count towards the campaign total but will not be doubled.
