Witness how your support changes lives in Malawi
Thank you for going “behind the scenes” with us at our sight-saving projects in Malawi, southern Africa, to witness the difference that your support is making for people living needlessly blind.
“It has been a truly life-changing few days for the 60 men and women who have had their sight restored this week. Thanks to your support, they are now able to get around independently, cook and care for themselves. But the impact of your support doesn’t stop there. Because the training and equipment being provided through our project means that, in future, many more people will be able to access treatment here in Nkotakota.” - Frank Maliko, Project officer

In 2020, CBM supporters donated an amazing £1,320,921 to help people in the world’s poorest places See the Way to a brighter future. Every pound was then doubled by the UK government. This match funding is delivering a 3-year project in Malawi to improve access to eye health services in rural districts, including through cataract outreach camps, providing equipment and training eye health workers.
See the Change week is an initiative to report back on the project’s impact at its half way point, focussing on a week’s cataract outreach camp. Because of challenges of working live from a busy hospital environment and the need to safeguard patient privacy, See the Change week material was pre-recorded over one week and will be shared day-by-day to show how the week unrolled for patients and staff.
