ABOUT THE FRED HOLLOWS FOUNDATION**


Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, The Fred Hollows Foundation, is a leading international development organization working towards eliminating avoidable blindness and improving Indigenous health. There are 36 million people in the world who are blind, 4 out of 5 of them do not need to be. We focus on preventable and treatable eye diseases such as cataract, trachoma and diabetic retinopathy. Our global program spans 25 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Australasia and Middle East which involves local training and providing affordable technology so doctors, nurses and health care workers can recognize, diagnose, refer and treat eye problems in their communities. We use research to improve our understanding of avoidable blindness, then use our findings to implement strategies and advocate for change.


The Fred Hollows Foundation has a very clear goal: to end avoidable blindness. As our Founder, the late Professor Fred Hollows said, “I believe that the basic attribute of mankind is to look after each other.” To find out more about our work, please visit our website https://www.hollows.org.
