Support World Sight Day 2026, Donate to Unlock the 6x Impact on Sight-Restoring
Donate before 31 October 2026, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar by our corporate partners: YOU & “EYE” DOUBLE THE IMPACT
Matching funds are available up to HK$1,000,000 – bringing the gift of sight to more families affected by blindness.
Seven-year-old Blaise was slowly losing his sight in Rwanda. Blind in one eye and with cataract clouding the other, everyday life was a struggle. Schoolwork was difficult and even simple play became a challenge. His mother, Redempta, worried constantly about his future.
Thanks to the support of people like you, Blaise was brought to Kabgayi Eye Unit, where paediatric ophthalmologist Dr Tuyisabe Theophile performed surgery that restored his sight.
When the patches were lifted, Blaise saw his mother clearly for the first time in months. Redempta could barely contain her tears: “I left with a child who was blind and came back with a child who can see. That child is the future of Rwanda.”
YOU & "EYE" DOUBLE THE IMPACT!
Remove Cataract Together!
Together, we can clear the cataract backlog by 2035 and lay The Foundation to end avoidable blindness by 2040.
-
Train a larger local eye health workforce
-
Bring services closer to communities in rural and regional areas
-
Equip and staff eye care units in additional district hospitals
“The Fred Hollows Foundation has supported six ophthalmologists who are now working in provinces with the highest need. There is a lot of work to do, but this is just one example where supporters have improved access to eye health in Rwanda.” — Tiva Kananura, Country Manager, Rwanda
From Barries To Possibilities
Many people in Rwanda can’t get the eye care they need, putting them at risk of avoidable blindness. But YOU & "EYE" can remove barries to sight-restoring possibilites. Support us now!
Restore Sight Every Month
For just HK$150 a month you can help provide sight saving surgery to a person every month. That’s up to 12 lives changed by you, every year.
Limited Access To Eye Care
In 2022, five of the seven hospitals offering regular cataract surgery were in or near Kigali, leaving most rural areas underserved.
Train More Eye Surgeons
Rwanda has just 1.7 cataract surgeons per million people, well below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 4 per million — highlighting the urgent need to train more specialists.
Since 2006, your support has helped:
Screen 2.6 Million People
Expand Services from 8 to 22 Hospitals
Perform 57,000 Cataract Surgeries
Train 6 New Ophthalmologists
