Transform more lives like Chini's
Fred Hollows was a legendary Australian whose legacy continues to change the world today. Fred said it was “obscene to let people go blind when they don’t have to.” Right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind or vision impaired don’t have to be.
The Fred Hollows Foundation works in over 25 countries around the world and there are many people like Chini, a 74-year-old woman from Nepal, who are urgently waiting for surgery.
By donating an affordable amount every month – less than a dollar a day – you could help restore the sight of more people like Chini, and absolutely transform their lives.
Fred was extraordinary, but he knew he could only achieve so much alone. He saw the need to scale up his work, train local eye health workers, and encourage caring supporters like you to help.
Fred said "to help someone to see is a tremendous feeling". By making a $25 monthly donation today you can experience the joy of knowing that you are helping give the gift of sight to someone every month.
Will you become a Visionary today?
Chini was blind from cataracts. Like many Nepalese people, Chini couldn't afford eye surgery. An eye clinic supported by The Fred Hollows Foundation was her only chance to have her sight restored.
Fred Hollows was a visionary, and we need more people like him. Kind people like you who will walk in his footsteps, enabling the continuation of his vital work. You can finish the job he started all those years ago by becoming a Visionary.
Why should you give monthly?
Monthly giving is the most effective way to donate – we count on your monthly donations to be able to plan ahead and provide support to people living with avoidable blindness in over 25 countries around the world.
Monthly donations have a multiplier effect
Your monthly donation enables us to train doctors who then train others, build clinics and work with governments to reach those who no one else can. Your money goes further with a monthly donation by restoring sight to more people.
It's more convenient for you, and us
You choose how much you give and the donation is automatically deducted from your nominated account on the 15th or 28th of every month. This means fewer administrative tasks for us too – so it keeps admin costs down. You are in complete control of your giving and can modify anytime.
Monthly donations help us plan long-term projects
Monthly donations are the most reliable source of income - they mean we can worry less about raising funds and focus more on delivering long-term projects. It means we can invest in innovation and technology that will continue to make eye care services more affordable and available to people living in the most remote parts of the world.
