ABOUT THE COMPANY

Sightsavers is an international organisation that changes lives for the long term. We work in more than 30 countries to eliminate avoidable blindness and support people with visual impairments to live independently.

We do what we do because 80 per cent of blindness in the world is avoidable, and we think that's astoundingly unfair.

We do it because people with disabilities deserve the same opportunities as everyone else.
