Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Give a gift of sight! 

Your donations will be hand delivered by me this April (27th)

10 Pairs of Glasses - £15

Adult Cataract Operation - £30

Child Cataract Operation - £50 (per eye)


I will be leading out a team of young doctors/medical students into rural Bangladesh (Sylhet) this April to hold medical eye camps. We will be working with local surgeons and aim to see between 500-1000 of the worlds poorest. For many, this will be the only time they see a doctor in their lives.

Your money will go towards funding cataract surgery, prescription glasses, and various eye drops to help alleviate the misery suffered by the world’s poorest. We will be filming during our time there and you will be able to see the impact your donation has made. Please donate any amount that you can-no amount is too small!

"Following successful Elective Aid trips Selfless are now focusing on improving peoples’ lives by restoring their vision. We have found the poor to be at risk of blindness and cast out of society due to visual impairment. This leads to an inability to financially support themselves or their families. We are currently focusing our Eye Camps in Sylhet where Sightsavers report that over 59,000 are blind and 75% are blinded due to cataracts. It is estimated that 9,000 new cases of cataract blindness occur every year. 350,000 adults and 130,000 children are reported to suffer from visual impairment that could be corrected by glasses. Each Eye Camp works with local doctors to screen in the region of 500-1000 villagers, provide restorative cataract surgery to 30-40 of the poorest and provide glasses to others. The Eye Camp trip lasts for 5 days; volunteers will be working with local doctors to screen and take histories from patients attending camps."
