DONATE TO CURE BLINDNESS

Cataracts and uncorrected refractive error (correctable with glasses) account for over 80% of blindness in Ixcan, Guatemala, an estimated 8,000 people.

 

Did you know that a gift of:

  • $350 will pay for a cataract surgery and the required travel expenses.
  • $65 covers 5 pairs of prescription glasses.

How does your donation help?

Here’s just one example:

Our Guatemalan partner, Visualiza, has an eye hospital for the poor only 3 hours away, providing eye surgeries at a significantly reduced cost. At their hospital $350 will cover a cataract surgery, plus transportation and lodging for the 2 days of follow-up care.  This is an amount that at first glance seems minor, but is totally out of the reach of our patients – can you help us help them? This is just one of the many ways that your gift can help eliminate blindness for the people of the Ixcán.

Enfoque Ixcán is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN 01-0844437.

Your direct donation is deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law, and is very welcome. You can review our current budget here.
