Blindness
Dark & Light Blind Care is a Christian non-profit foundation for preventing and treating blindness in Asia and Africa. We help visually impaired people in the most sustainable way: through projects of prevention, treatment, education and vocational training, run by our local partners.
Right now, Dark & Light is the largest organization in the Netherlands that helps preventing blindness and visually impaired people in developing countries. Dark & Light works together with several organizations, like Vision 2020, to eliminate the main causes of blindness and to help blind and visually impaired people in their own environment.
