The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ

The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ carries on the work of a legendary New Zealander, the late Professor Fred Hollows. Fred was an internationally acclaimed eye surgeon and social justice activist who championed the right of all people to high-quality and affordable eye care. The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ is part of a global organisation that works in more than 25 countries worldwide. Globally, 9 out of 10 people who are blind dont need to be; their condition is preventable or treatable. The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ works in the Pacific with a vision of a world in which no person is needlessly blind or vision impaired. We support our partners to restore sight to the needlessly blind and vision impaired, train local eye health specialists to provide eye care services in their own communities and work to strengthen local health systems to achieve access to quality eye care. We are committed to innovation and research to inform best practice eye care
