LIGHT FOR THE WORLD is a European confederation of national development NGOs committed to saving eyesight, improving the quality of life and advocating for the rights of person with disabilities in the underprivileged regions of our world. LIGHT FOR THE WORLD is dedicated to ensuring the rights of persons with disabilities in developing countries, without discrimination of gender, ethnicity, social group or religion.

LIGHT FOR THE WORLD provides access to treatment and therapy for affected people by supporting local partner organisations. We also commit ourselves to the task of creating new prospects for persons with disabilities, to increase mobility with the help of devices, to start initiatives that will provide education and income and to support them to exercise their rights. Another objective of LIGHT FOR THE WORLD is to raise awareness on the situation of persons with disabilities in their family and environment. This is an important basis for social inclusion and for the autonomy and self-determination of persons with disabilities.
