It can cost as little as £34 to protect a person with advanced trachoma from going blind. The longer someone has to wait for surgery, the more likely they’ll be blind forever. Your incredible support can protect someone from blinding trachoma and make the following possible:

• People will be protected from the excruciating pain of trachoma

• Children will be able to go to school, play with their friends and fulfil their potential

• Reduced burden of care on family members who would otherwise have to look after the person who was blind

• People will experience the joy of seeing their loved ones

• Adults will be able to continue working, provide for their families and break the cycle of poverty

• People will be able to participate fully and contribute to their communities. On average for everyone £1 spent on restoring or protecting someone’s sight, £4 returns to the local community
