Eye Care Foundation is active in countries without access to good eye care or affordable eye care. We have projects in the Himalayas (Nepal), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), South America (Ecuador and Surinam) and in the African country Tanzania. We are always open to further international expansion.

Our efforts for better eye care
Blindness most often leads to economic and social problems – blind people in Asia, Africa, and South America are usually unable to work and are entirely dependent on family and friends. This is unnecessary, as 80% of these cases are preventable or curable, for example, by cataract surgery or prescription eyeglasses. We have the knowledge, pass it on, and ensure that the medical facilities and care are strong locally. With our projects in the Himalayas, Southeast Asia and on the African continent, Eye Care Foundation strengthens the local medical eye care capacities.
Donations make our work possible
Our activities for good eye care are possible through active funding. Eye Care Foundation runs entirely on donations, large and small. Donations make our work possible; without them, these regions have no opportunities for good eye care. We use our donations directly for all our activities.
