Help 250 patients in Jordan get their vision back. This is part of a UMR program to recover vision for 1,000 patients by 2020, inshAllah!


Join to help 1,000 blind patients regain vision by 2020

Imagine waking up and your vision is cloudy and every day it gets worse until one day you can no longer see. Not your family loved ones, not even the simple things like your home or the sunshine in the morning. That can be the reality for cataract patients. 

  • Every dollar spent on eye health in developing countries returns a FOUR-FOLD return on investment - The Fred Hollows Foundation and PwC 
  • The proportion of blindness due to cataract ranges from 5% in Western Europe and North America and 50% or more in poorer regions - World Health Organization


Imagine there is a solution, but you do not have access to it 


You have the opportunity to help reverse this. UMR is giving us the chance to be better together and together change lives for 1,000 people by 2020.


250 patients are currently on a waitlist for cataract surgery in Jordan. These patients are people in need who would not be able to get the surgery otherwise. Each surgery involves a highly qualified and experienced physician from the United States who partners with local counterparts in Amman.
