Every night, Oscar prays to God that someone will save his sight. Could that someone be you?

Oscar is one of the brightest children in his class. But for 13 years, cataracts have been slowly stealing his eyesight, his childhood, and his future.

Yet despite his sadness and his fear, he bravely goes to school every day, he works hard, and every night before he sleeps, he prays that God will restore his sight.

“I have dreamed of being healed for a long time. I have addressed this wish to God in hope that he will fulfil this miracle.” – Oscar

Oscar’s sight is fading from treatable cataracts

Oscar does his best to get around the alleyways of his village on his own. Afraid of falling and hurting himself, he uses his hands to feel along the walls.

But how much longer can he navigate a treacherous world when his sight is fading?

Oscar used to get top grades in school, and he excels in science. As his sight got worse, his teachers moved him to the front of class – but he still struggles to see the blackboard. And it’s getting harder every day.

One sight-saving cataract surgery costs just $33

It might surprise you to hear that $33 is all it takes to provide sight-saving cataract surgery and change someone’s life forever. 

Oscar’s family cannot afford the sight-saving surgery he needs. Oscar’s mother, Felistine, is raising her children on her own. The money she makes selling goods at the market is barely enough to put food on the table and keep Oscar in school, let alone pay for his surgery.

Every night, her heart breaks for her son as he says his prayer to God.
