ELIMINATING AVOIDABLE BLINDNESS

There are 253 million blind people in the world.

90% of them live in developing countries.

75% of this blindness is avoidable.

Vision for Bangladesh is working hard to help 

fight blindness and restore lives in the tea gardens of Bangladesh.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Vision for Bangladesh is no longer operating as an active charity, but we want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported our mission over the years.

With your generosity, we were able to restore sight to children who would otherwise have had no means of accessing life-changing treatment. Every donation, big or small, played a crucial role in eliminating avoidable blindness and giving people a brighter future.

Though our journey has come to an end, the impact of your kindness lives on.
Thank you for being part of our mission.

Key messages & objectives

Our priority is to find young children going blind from cataracts and provide corrective surgery, enable children needing glasses to stay in education and help adults going prematurely blind so that they can continue to work and provide for the family.

Our vision for Bangladesh

When we were running we were funded entirely by donations and every penny went 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.
