We are delighted to announce the launch of our See My Future appeal.
From today, until 23rd June, all public donations will be doubled by the UK government.
In many parts of the world, avoidable sight loss means children are dropping out of school – either because their own eye health is poor, or in order to care for an adult with sight loss. Our See My Future appeal aims to raise £850,000 to help these children, with the UK government matching every pound up to £2 million.
All of the money matched by the UK government will go directly towards expanding Orbis’s project in Nepal which screens and treats children with sight loss, enabling them to attend school and face a brighter future. All individual donations will support the charity’s vital sight saving work across the world, wherever it is needed most.
