Gift in Memory 
Making a donation in memory of a loved one or friend is a continuing and meaningful tribute and ensures their memory lives on to help others.
| When you make a tax deductible Gift in Memory to The Fred Hollows Foundation you can elect to have The Foundation notify the next of kin on your behalf. The gift of sight is a gift of life. Thank you. |

Why we need your support
- 3 out of 4 people in the developing world are living with avoidable blindness due to lack of access to simple treatment and routine surgery.
- On average, a person living with blindness in the developing world will die within four years of going blind.
- There is a 10 year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
- Your gift in memory donation will help restore sight, dignity and independence.
Who benefits from your donation?
In 2009 we carried out 195,406 operations and treatments, up from 70,000 in 2006. That’s close to triple the number of people treated in just three years!
- The poorest of the poor in countries like Nepal, Vietnam and Kenya who are blind due to poverty and isolation, and only need routine treatment to restore their sight, dignity and independence.
- Of the more than 40 million blind people who live in the developing world, there are others, usually children and most often girls, who miss out on education or other life options to care for them.
- Ophthalmologists and eye health workers in developing countries who need training, facilities and equipment to carry out their sight restoring work.
- Australians in remote Indigenous communities who are living with cataract blindness, trachoma and other treatable eye conditions.
