Donate a life changing Laisee

Empower patients with avoidable blindness by restoring sight and changing lives. 

 


Currently 43 million people around the world are blind and 1.1 billion live with some form of vision loss. About 90 per cent of those affected live in low-income and middle-income countries, and most cannot get the care they need. 

The problem is aggravated by the spread of COVID-19. The economic downturn has made it even harder for visually impaired and blind patients to afford simple operations and treatments.

Your donation will restore sight and change lives. Thanks so much for your generosity!

Your donation changes lives

The Fred Hollows Foundation estimates that every $1 invested in ending avoidable blindness can create four times economic benefits.

Your monthly donation will create bigger impacts:

  • A monthly donation of HKD180 can restore sight to one person each month
  • A monthly donation of HKD350 can help to set up an eye screening camp in a remote area
  • A monthly donation of HKD500 can help train an eye surgeon to perform as many as 1,000 operations each year
 

 


Why is it important to save sight?

Blindness is more than a health issue. It is also a social and economic problem.  It is especially difficult for patients living in poverty and remote areas to seek medical help. 

Some patients may not have enough understanding of eye diseases which can be treated easily, such as cataract, trachoma and refractive errors. The expensive treatment and transport cost may deter some patients from going to see a doctor. 

It can also be challenging for hospitals and clinics to provide simple eye services to patients. There may not be enough experienced medical staff and the facilities have to depend on ad hoc visits of eye professionals from outside their area. Insufficient equipment and modern technology also make it hard to provide regular and stable eye services.  

  • Is my donation tax deductible?

    Yes! A receipt is available for donations of HKD100 or more.

  • Will I get a receipt?

    Yes! For one-off donations, we will email donation receipts immediately. Receipts for monthly donations will be mailed in April every year.

  • What will my donation be used for?

    Your donation could be used to restore someone’s sight, but it may also go towards a range of other program activities like training surgeons or eye health workers. All of the work we do aims to build capacity in developing countries to create sustainable public eye health systems so your donation will help thousands of people in their communities into the future. 

  • What methods of payment are accepted?

    We welcome the use of Visa、Mastercard、American Express and Union Pay. You can use PayPal and credit cards for one-off donations.  You can also use credit cards or direct debit for monthly donations.
