Campaign story
About this campaign
CURE CATARACTS
Millions of people around the world live their lives with blindness caused by cataracts, a preventable eye disease closely linked with poverty, malnutrition, and poor health. Cataracts are treatable with a simple, safe eye surgery with a 99 percent success rate worldwide. After having their vision restored through a cataract surgery, nearly all patients see enormous gains in quality of life.
However, for millions of people in Mali, this life-changing surgery is unaffordable and out of reach, causing a lifetime of needless suffering.
You can end that suffering today. Donate to Embrace Relief’s Cure Cataracts Initiative and provide cataract surgeries to people in Mali today!
$120 covers the cost of:
- Free preoperation health checkup
- Free consultation
- Free cataract surgery for one eye
- Patients receive free food and water on the day of operation
- Free post-operation checkup
- Free health checkups for 15 other people
Imagine being unable to access the simple eye surgery that would let you see the world again after a lifetime of blindness. Now, imagine how grateful you would be if someone opened their heart to you and provided the care that you needed.
