Since 1950 Sightsavers have been working in some of the poorest countries of the world to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote equality of opportunity for blind and visually-impaired people in the developing world.
Working with our local partners in more than 30 countries mainly in Africa and South Asia, we give sight back to people blinded by conditions such as cataracts. We also support irreversibly blind children through schooling and also work to try and give adults the opportunity to support themselves.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
