Light for the World

Light for the World stands up for equal rights of persons with disabilities in developing countries. Our support focuses on three domains:

1. Special services for people with a disability, such as eye care and rehabilitation services through financial support and capacity building of local NGOs and governments.
2. Promoting inclusive development by building the capacity of organisations and institutes to give better access to persons with a disability to their services (leading to increased access to health, education and the labour market).
3. Support of Disabled People’s Organisations to help them advocate for their rights and to increase their self-sufficiency.

Our Vision

Our vision is that everywhere in the world, people do not have to fear to become and stay needlessly blind and people with a disability are able to live a life of dignity.

Our Goal

We are dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness and improving the quality of life of persons with a disability in the poor and least served communities in developing countries.
