Light for the world
We have supported social campaigns at interzum for 36 years. This year we again want to support those who need our help most urgently.

Gift of sight

Help us save the sight of 3,333 people

No matter whether young or old, people who can see can play a full and active part in society and shape their own future.

Just €30 can restore a person’s sight with a cataract surgery. Join our campaign and help us give sight back to 3,333 people.

Save sight now!
In past years we asked visitors to support our campaign by signing the visitors’ book. This year you can restore a person’s sight with a single click.

Eyesight can be restored in a 15-minute operation. Light for the World carried out 500,000 operations to give sight back to people who would otherwise be blind in Africa, Asia, Latin America and South East Europe over the past few years.
