Who we are

​We support the work of Kwale Eye Centre in Kenya to make avoidable blindness a thing of the past. In 2018 the Eye Centre celebrated 25 years of providing affordable, accessible eye care to those most in need. After 25 years of working they have performed over 35,000 sight-restoring eye surgeries, seen over 100,000 people in the main clinic and over 300,000 people in the field.

Why we need help

In Kenya the rate of blindness is 10 times that of the western world.
Worldwide one person goes blind every five seconds.
80% of blindness is avoidable, and over half is due to cataract.
90% of the world's blind live in developing countries.
In the UK there is 1 ophthalmologist per 25,000 people. In Kenya there is 1 ophthalmologist per 300,000 people.
We strive to provide accessible, affordable eye care to make these statistics a thing of the past.
​No patient is refused treatment so donations are required to continue giving sight-saving treatment to those most in need.
