ABOUT THE FRED HOLLOWS FOUNDATION
The Foundation is an international development organisation working to prevent blindness and restore sight. We continue to carry on the legacy of Professor Fred Hollows, who believed every person had the right to quality eye care, no matter where they live. The Foundation has grown to work in more than 25 countries throughout Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the Pacific, as well as Australia. The Foundation has restored sight to more than 3 million people worldwide. We have an ambitious five-year strategic plan that aims to take us even closer to realising our vision of a world in which no person is needlessly blind or vision impaired and Indigenous Australians exercise their right to sight and good health.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Asia is an integral region for resource mobilization for The Fred Hollows Foundation. Singapore, as a center of wealth and an emerging regional leader in strategic philanthropy, is home to untapped sources of significant support for The Foundation’s work.
The Foundation has a vision scaling up impact, that is in line with our mission and aspirations to make a truly catalytic change in the battle against avoidable blindness. A key tool is realizing this vision is the Global Comprehensive Campaign, a philanthropic program to unlock significant new resources to fund sight-saving work across the globe.
