Christian Blind Mission (CBM)

CBM works in the world鈥檚 poorest places to prevent avoidable blindness and transform the lives of people with disabilities.聽 Every day, people needlessly lose their sight to conditions like cataracts because they don鈥檛 have access to sight-saving treatment.聽

No child should be needlessly blind

No child should be needlessly blind
When Memory lost her sight to cataracts, she stopped going to school as she鈥檇 often fall or get lost on the way. Sight-restoring cataract surgery can cost just 拢95, but for her family in rural Malawi it was out of reach.

鈥淚 want to go to school, I want to learn鈥

鈥淚 want to go to school, I want to learn鈥
After cataract surgery at CBM鈥檚 partner hospital, Memory no longer needs to cling to her mum鈥檚 arm to get around 鈥 she can see to get around safely. She laughs as she watches bubbles floating in the air and pops them with her hands. Now she hopes to go back to school.聽

Building brighter futures
