Together, We Doubled the Impact of Cataract Awareness Month

Jun 25, 2026 | news |

Thank you for making Cataract Awareness Month an incredible success.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we reached our fundraising goal and unlocked the full $200,000 matching gift—doubling the impact of every dollar raised for people living with treatable blindness in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Your support will help provide sight-restoring cataract surgery to people who have waited far too long to see the faces of loved ones, return to work, care for their families, and regain their independence. Beyond restoring sight today, your generosity also helps strengthen local eye care systems by equipping and training skilled eye health professionals, expanding access to quality care for years to come.

Together, we are creating lasting change—restoring vision, transforming lives, and building a future where avoidable blindness no longer holds people back.

From all of us at Cure Blindness Project, thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your commitment to bringing the gift of sight to people around the world.
