My organisation

We improve health systems, enable education for all, and amplify the voices of people with disabilities in the workplace and beyond. In short: we break down unjust barriers to unlock the potential in all of us! We focus on people who are facing multiple barriers At Light for the World, we focus on people with disabilities facing multiple barriers, including children, women, rural communities and those hit by disaster. We concentrate on selected countries where the need is greatest according to the Human Development Index and where we believe we can achieve long-term system change by strengthening the existing health, education, social and economic set-up so it reaches those who need the services the most for many years to come. Creating powerful partnerships, we work tirelessly to strengthen the entire system. Evidence-based programming Outcome-oriented monitoring, evaluation and applied research is crucial to us. We use it to continuously learn and adapt our eye-health and educational programmes, to ensure maximum effectiveness for the people we work with. Systems change Our team expertise lies in the complexity of achieving lasting systems change.
