Sight Savers International

Sight Savers is the UK's leading charity combating blindness in developing countries.

Our Vision:

Sight Savers' vision is of a world in which no-one is needlessly blind and where everyone who is irreversibly blind or severely visually-impaired enjoys the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities as people who are sighted.

Our Mission:

Sight Savers is dedicated to combating blindness in developing countries, primarily in the Commonwealth, by working with partner organisations in poor and the least served communities to support ongoing activities that prevent and cure blindness, restore sight and provide services to blind people.

Our Values:

Sight Savers aspires to live by the following values:
- We believe that everyone has the right to sight.
- We speak out to support and defend people's right to sight and the right of blind people in the developing world to live a life of independence.
- We approach our work on the basis of mutual respect, valuing diversity and recognising the innate worth and opinion of all people.
- We work in a spirit of collaboration with local communities and other organisations.
- We are accountable for our actions and honest and transparent in our communications with others.
- We are open-minded, creative and challenging and aim for constant improvement in our work.
