Make a $100 Donation
A donation of $100 or more will help us train more local eye care specialists to deliver eye care in their communities.
One of the eye doctors our generous donors have helped support is Dr Elenoa Matoto-Raikabakaba from Tonga. Dr Elenoa currently works at the Pacific Eye Institute in Fiji, where earlier this year she helped lead the Paediatric surgery week. Litia, one of the parents of child who underwent surgery, described the impact that Dr Elenoa made for her and her family.
“The doctors were very friendly and explained everything. They explained things we don’t understand; the surgery, what will happen after the surgery, the complications. They explained in detail, and I really liked that. Dr Elenoa is very good at handling children. We really appreciate her.” – Litia
This is why training local eye specialists like Dr Elenoa is so important. They can connect with their patients as they understand their needs and can be there to support them throughout the entire procedure, including pre- and post-surgery appointments.
A donation from you today can help to train more eye specialists like Dr Elenoa, who can go on to give the Gift of Sight.
Thanks to Specsavers, all donations will be matched up to $40,000. Your $100 = $200, meaning your donation will have double the impact. Add a donation to your order that means twice as much this Christmas.
How your gift helps
9 out of 10 people who are blind don’t need to be; their condition is preventable or treatable.
Your gift will help us to not only restore sight, but train local eye health specialists to provide eye care services in their own communities, strengthen local health systems, and support research that will help us to better understand and deliver on current and future eye care needs.
