The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ works to<br />
restore sight and end avoidable blindness in<br />
the Pacific Islands, Papua <strong>New</strong> Guinea and<br />
Timor-Leste where 4 out of 5 people who are<br />
blind don’t have to be. We carry on the work<br />
of Professor Fred Hollows, a world-renowned<br />
Kiwi eye surgeon and humanitarian. Fred<br />
believed in giving a hand up, not a hand<br />
out, and we train local eye health workers<br />
to restore sight in their own communities.<br />
Every year Foundation-trained eye health<br />
workers perform thousands of sight-restoring<br />
surgeries at our clinics and through our<br />
surgical outreach program.<br />
