For children in developing countries, there are
many immediate threats to their vision. Vitamin A deficiency, trachoma,
river blindness, cataracts and low vision are just a few. For
these children, lost vision is a lost future, and an immediate burden
to their families. 90% of these children will never get the chance
to go to school. Too many will be hidden away out of shame, misunderstanding
or necessity.
The need is great. But you can make a difference.
- For just $60, you can give 100 children sight-saving
vitamin A capsules or give 60 children trachoma-fighting
antibiotic eye ointment.
- An extra $4 will give special powerful eyeglasses
to a child with severe low vision.
