Match your monthly gift & transform more lives like Chini's
Fred Hollows was a legendary Australian whose legacy continues to change the world today. Fred said it was “obscene to let people go blind when they don’t have to.” Right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind or vision impaired don’t have to be.
The Fred Hollows Foundation works in over 25 countries around the world and there are many people like Chini, a 74-year-old woman from Nepal, who are urgently waiting for surgery.
By becoming a Visionary today, you’ll help restore sight to twice as many people. That’s twice as many people who can get an education, see their loved ones, and support their families. That’s twice as many lives transformed.
Fred was extraordinary, but he knew he could only achieve so much alone. He saw the need to scale up his work, train local eye health workers, and encourage caring supporters like you to help.
Fred said "to help someone to see is a tremendous feeling". By making a $25 monthly donation today you can experience the joy of knowing that you are helping give the gift of sight to someone every month.
Will you become a Visionary today?
Chini was blind from cataracts. Like many Nepalese people, Chini couldn't afford eye surgery. An eye clinic supported by The Fred Hollows Foundation was her only chance to have her sight restored.
Fred Hollows was a visionary, and we need more people like him. Kind people like you who will walk in his footsteps, enabling the continuation of his vital work. You can finish the job he started all those years ago by becoming a Visionary.
Why should you give monthly?
Monthly giving is the most effective way to support our work. It allows us to plan ahead and deliver ongoing support to people living with avoidable blindness in over 25 countries around the world.
Monthly donations have a multiplier effect
Your monthly gift creates a ripple of impact. It helps train local doctors who then train others, and supports clinics that continue restoring sight long after the first surgery. Month after month, you're not just changing lives — you're creating a legacy of sight that keeps growing.
It’s more convenient for you — and for us
You choose the amount, and your donation is automatically debited from your nominated account on the 15th or 28th of each month. It saves admin time and costs, and gives you full control to update or cancel anytime.
Monthly donations help us plan long-term projects
Monthly donations are our most reliable source of income. They allow us to focus less on fundraising, and more on delivering long-term projects — including investing in innovation and expanding access to affordable eye care in some of the most remote communities.
