Projects for The Fred Hollows Foundation

About this charity

The Fred Hollows Foundation is a non-government organisation. Established in 1992, The Foundation has worked with local partners to eradicate unnecessary blindness in more than 29 developing countries. As a result, local doctors in countries where we work have restored sight to more than 1,000,000 disadvantaged people! Following the late Professor Fred Hollows’ commitment to Indigenous people, The Foundation is also working to improve the health of Indigenous Australians, in partnership with the communities in the Jawoyn region, east of Katherine in the Northern Territory.
