New Gift Catalog for Holiday Season

A new gift catalog from Cure Blindness Project makes it easier to find something for everyone on your list. Gifts are available in a range of prices with each laddering up to one of our foundational pillars of local capacity, infrastructure & equipment, patient care and prevention. 

Some examples include: 

Those interested in building local capacity can fund a residency or training to allow for increased medical skills in a country where we work. 

An infrastructure & equipment gift might include purchasing high-quality medical equipment to allow in-country teams to diagnose and treat eye conditions. 

Consider gifting efforts that support patients directly with a sight-restoring surgery to one or many. Gifts may be given in a family member’s honor. 

Gifts related to our prevention efforts could include supplying the training and medicines needed to treat corneal abrasions (that left untreated, progress to blindness). 

Know that a gift from Cure Blindness Project is the gift that keeps on giving. Retaining or restoring someone’s sight is proven to improve a previously vision-impaired person’s physical, emotional and economic well-being.  

Long-time, esteemed partner Aravind Eye Hospital found that cataract surgery helped to break the cycle of poverty. Their data shows that 58-percent of the women who had lost their jobs as a result of becoming blind regained those jobs following cataract removal. Other studies reinforce this showing economic productivity of a previously blind person increased by up to 1500-percent of the cost of the surgery during the first postoperative year. 

With the recent news of our expansion into six new geographies, your gift has the potential to help even more people than ever before. 

“I just want to see, nothing else,” says Litay of Eritrea. 

Your gift can make that happen.
