March 2008 Charity of the Month

Sightsavers International
http://www.sightsavers.org

Sightsavers works to combat blindness in developing countries, restoring sight through specialist treatment and eye care. They also support people who are irreversibly blind by providing education, counselling and training. They help the people who need it most – those living in poverty in some of the world’s poorest countries.

For 50 years Sightsavers has been restoring sight and improving the lives of people who are irreversibly blind in poor countries around the world. They were founded in the 1950s by Sir John Wilson, with the express aim of restoring sight – wherever possible – in former Commonwealth countries.

Today, they work with partners in over 30 countries and their mission has expanded to also provide services to the blind and campaign for the eradication of needless blindness.

EFC members donated $20.00 to this charity in March.
