You can change a child’s life with the miracle of sight.

Right now, children are facing a lifetime of preventable blindness because they live in poverty. Their families can’t afford sight-saving medical care. Even the cost of getting to the nearest hospital is a struggle… Without the miracle of sight, too many kids stop going to school. They can’t see the faces of their loved ones or run and play with their friends.

For $47, you can give the miracle a child has been waiting for... the miracle a mother has been praying for. Whether through eye drops, surgery, medication, or eyeglasses, you can give a child the sight-saving care they need. Today, you can give a child living in one of the world’s poorest communities the miracle of sight.

Kezeysa’s Miracle of Sight

Startled and in pain, 3-year-old Kezeysa ran straight to his mom, Bibiyeni. “He was pointing to his eye, complaining,” she told us. His eye had been pricked by a thorn while he was playing. At first, it seemed like a small injury. But within days, a white spot had formed in his injured eye. A traumatic cataract was forming, and Kezeysa was losing his sight.

Bibiyeni did what any loving mom would do – she desperately looked for help, but there was no way she and her husband could pay for surgery... They would need a miracle. Thanks to a kind friend like you, Kezeysa received the sight-saving miracle he needed at our partner eye clinic.

Today, you can stop needless, permanent blindness in a child’s life. You can give a child like Kezeysa the miracle of sight.
