How it all started
Vision for Bangladesh was started in 2006 by Rachel Andrews, an NHS Ophthalmic Nursing Sister, after her first visit to Bangladesh. Now a Registered Charity, with a board of 7 trustees, we work closely with Moulvibazar BNSB Eye Hospital in the Sylhet region.

We are funded entirely by donations and every penny goes towards helping someone improve, retain or regain their eyesight.
800,000 people are suffering with unnecessary blindness in Bangladesh, 40,000 of these are children.
75% of this blindness is treatable.
80% of the population live in remote rural villages where healthcare for children is rare.
Early surgical intervention is crucial to prevent irreversible blindness.
We can help this, but so can you.
