Our impact
Since 2003, thanks to your support, we’ve raised over USD100 million and reached over 167 million people. We've helped prevent blindness by funding more than 184 eye care projects in poor communities globally, making it easier for many to return to education and work.
From 2019 Standard Chartered will no longer raise or match funds for Seeing is Believing. Standard Chartered, IAPB and our implementing partners will remain focused on delivering the projects based on the USD100 million raised until the end of 2020.
Creating a world free from blindness
Since 2003, Seeing is Believing has reached more than 167 million people around the world who urgently need affordable eye care.
Currently, we continue to make a difference with 60 ongoing projects across 27 countries.
