There are 39 million blind people in the world.  80% of blindness can be prevented or cured. The gift of sight has far-reaching benefits for the individual and their family.

Sightsavers tackles the main causes of avoidable blindness including trachoma and cataracts.  It costs just £8 for a trachoma operation to stop someone from going blind, and £28 for an adult cataract operation to give someone their sight back!

A donation to Sightsavers would make a wonderful wedding gift for Joel and Elsa!
