Vision loss is a silent crisis affecting 1.1 billion people worldwide – yet 90% of these cases are avoidable. In Bangladesh, millions of people suffer from preventable blindness simply due to lack of access to basic eye care. But this Ramadan, you can help change that.
In Bangladesh, nearly 27 million people live with untreated vision loss. For these people it’s a daily struggle, impacting not only their ability to see but their ability to live, work, and thrive.
The leading causes of blindness in Bangladesh include cataracts, refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy, and retinopathy of prematurity.
Your support this Ramadan can help provide sight saving care for more people like Ziaul and the children he teaches.
This Ramadan, we need your help to bring eye care to those who need it most. With your support, we can save lives and restore hope to communities in Bangladesh. Here's what we achieved together last year:
These numbers tell a powerful story - of lives changed, communities strengthened, and futures reclaimed. But the work is far from over.
Your support this Ramadan can help women and girls across Bangladesh.
Vision loss is more than a physical condition; it traps individuals in a cycle of poverty and isolation. Adults lose their ability to work, while children often drop out of school. The consequences are devastating – but they are avoidable. We are working tirelessly to break this cycle and bring light back into the lives of those who need it most.
In 2024, our Flying Eye Hospital touched down for a two-week mission in Bangladesh. Our expert team provided life-saving eye care to those urgently in need, while training local nurses and doctors to continue delivering high-quality eye care long after we left.
Your donation can help us expand our efforts and provide more sight-saving surgeries, screenings, and training. With your support, we can create sustainable, community-driven solutions to end avoidable blindness in Bangladesh.
This Ramadan, your generosity can help bring back the light to those who need it most. Together, we can stop avoidable blindness in its tracks and change lives for the better.
Don’t wait – donate today and help us restore sight and hope to those who need it most.
