Target: Governments and Decision Makers Around the World
Sponsored by: cbm (Christian Blind Mission)

For children in developing countries, there are many immediate threats to their vision. Vitamin A deficiency, trachoma, cataracts and low vision are just a few.

The good news is that 75 percent of blindness is avoidable - you can help to eliminate avoidable blindness!

Kofi Annan, Secretary General for the United Nations and Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Director General of the World Health Organization, and over 80 Government Ministers have already signed the VISION 2020 Declaration of Support.
Join them - and thousands of other Canadians - as we tell governments and decision makers around the world that 'The Right to Sight' should be a fundamental human right. By the year 2020, 100 million people will needlessly go blind unless joint global action is taken now. Your voice will make a difference. Please show your support today by adding your name!
