Everybody needs a will
Whether you’re 18 or 108, everyone should have a will in place. People use wills to choose who gets their property, name guardians for minor children, provide a plan for pets, and more.
Through a will, many people also choose to leave a part of their estate to Cure Blindness Project and make an impact on the causes they love, for years to come.

Your Gift fuels Cure Blindness Project’s mission
A gift in your will creates a foundation for the future. Our work today is important, but it is equally, if not more important, to ensure The Cure Blindness Project can continue our work ending needless blindness well into the future.
I have seen tremendous growth in eye care in countries like Nepal, Bhutan, and Ethiopia thanks to your work. We love reading about the eye hospitals that are expanding, or clinics being built in rural areas throughout the world and how local doctors, medical staff, and management are receiving training needed to ensure a better future for those who suffer from needless blindness. One sight-giving surgery can change the life of a family, a village, and a community. We are proud to be able to support your work in any way we can.
