VisiOur Vision: Sightsavers’ vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes and where visually impaired people participate equally in society.
Our Mission: Eliminate avoidable blindness and promote equality of opportunity for disabled people.
Sightsavers is a global development organisation working in India since 1966 to eliminate avoidable blindness and to ensure that people who are irreversibly blind are supported adequately to lead lives of independence and dignity.
Today, we partner over 100 organisations across 17 states in India bringing eye healthcare, educational support, training and leadership development to visually impaired people in some of the least served areas.
We work sustainably for lasting change – by strengthening existing health systems, seeking to advocate with governments and by demonstrating best practises. We network with like-minded organisations to advocate for the rights of the disabled.
Sightsavers believes in promoting indigenous technologies in eye healthcare to ensure a wider reach. Please visit www.sightsaversindia.in to learn more about us.
