Cataract Patients in rural Africa
The NGO Light for the World believes in a world where people with eye conditions and disabilities can fully exercise their rights to health, education, work, and protection in emergencies.
Vision loss is linked to socioeconomic disadvantage. Poor vision contributes to inequalities for marginalised and socially disadvantaged populations. 90% of people affected by eye diseases live in low- and middle-income countries. Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the worst-affected regions.
