Read Sightsavers’ annual reports

Annual report 2025

Sightsavers’ 75th year was one of significant achievement in the face of serious headwinds. During a challenging year in which many governments around the world announced dramatic cuts to their aid budgets, our organisation delivered another strong performance.

In 2025, we met nearly all our strategic targets and increased our outputs. Sightsavers exceeded half a million cataract operations, increased the number of glasses it distributed, and ensured many more people no longer need treatment for neglected tropical diseases.

Our cash income was also boosted in 2025, thanks to our loyal supporters and a record year for legacy gifts. New funders such as Bloomberg Philanthropies also joined us to end avoidable blindness, eliminate diseases and promote equality.
