“I’ve seen many humanitarian interventions all over the world, and there’s almost nothing so cheap, rapid and transformative as cataract surgery.” - Nicholas Kristof, New York Times
Giving Tuesday is a day of global generosity that unleashes the power of people to transform their communities and the world. On November 30th, we hope you will join Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP) in transforming global eye care.
This year, several generous donors and our Board are matching gifts made to our Giving Tuesday campaign! Give now and watch your gift get doubled dollar for dollar!
Of the more than 36 million people worldwide suffering from unnecessary blindness, 17 million people are blind due to cataracts. Most of these people live in under-resourced countries, where poor nutrition and limited access to eye care mean a life limited by needless blindness.
Many serious health problems cannot be easily cured, but cataract blindness is the exception.
Since 1995, HCP and its partners have provided eye screenings and treatment to more than 13.1 million people and performed sight-restoring surgery for more than 1 million people worldwide. The life-changing procedure can be completed in less than 10 minutes at a material cost of just $25.
Today, your matched gift will go twice as far to restore sight to patients waiting for care.
We hope you will join us this Giving Tuesday as we work to change the arc of global blindness within our lifetime.
