Getting an education can be a way out of poverty, but it's hard to learn when you haven't got the right materials.

Your gift could help children who are blind to read, study and learn in local schools alongside their sighted classmates.

An education can give children like Devilal the best possible chance to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Manisha was born blind and lived her life totally dependent on others. Her family were unaware that education was even available for Manisha until Sightsavers' intervention.

Manisha was taught mobility and daily living skills so that she could gain independence and was enrolled in school, where she has learnt to read and write Braille.

Manisha now receives a fortnightly Braille newspaper and reports the latest news back to her village.
