About Sightsavers

Sightsavers is an international organisation that works in more than more than 30 countries to prevent avoidable blindness and fight for the rights of people with disabilities. Our vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes, and where people with disabilities can participate equally in society. Sightsavers has been operating in Pakistan since 1985 and subsequently established a formal country presence in 1998. With the objective of developing eye care for the poorest people in both urban and rural areas, Sightsavers has been providing preventive services as well as a full range of treatments. Our work in Pakistan focuses on strengthening eye health systems, promoting inclusive education systems, and accessible community development solutions.

Project Overview
