We collaborate with established institutions in Africa and assist where possible to help bring about change. This assistance ranges from visits by UK health personnel to teach and train to funding projects after a needs assessment has been undertaken. We are all professionals who volunteer our time and resources for the goal of providing better eye services in Malawi and Africa in general.

How it started
This was borne out of a desire to translate what I have learnt into something that would make a difference in Africa.
A dream that one day others like me could in a small way could impact on the the lives of thousands elsewhere less fortunate.
In 2001 'Sight 2020 Direct' was registered as a charity to take the fight for sight to Africa. I had recently been appointed Consultant at The Royal Gwent NHS Trust, Newport, South Wales but felt incomplete. Friends and family supported me and 'Sight 2020 Direct' was born!
