JOHN FAWCETT FOUNDATION

John Fawcett Foundation (JFF) is a humanitarian not-for-profit organisation that assists needy citizens of Indonesia, with its main focus on sight restoration and blindness prevention. JFF offers its assistance to people in the lower socio-economic group free of charge and without religious, political, or ethnic consideration. JFF’s headquarters are in Bali, Indonesia. Its projects include Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention, Corrective Surgery, Prosthetic Eyes, and Technology Transfer. JFF’s projects extend throughout Indonesia, in locations where people are impoverished and medical specialist services are scarce.

In Indonesia over 4 million people are needlessly blind; around 65% of these people cannot access specialist medical treatment. JFF’s mission is to help as many of these people as we can. With your support, someone who could easily be treated will have their sight restored.

Our vision is centered around three main goals:

  1. Renewing hope
  2. Uplifting lives
  3. Restoring sight
JFF receives Indonesia-wide recognition for its successful humanitarian programs, which are conducted in cooperation with Provincial and District Governments, and in partnership with many professional organisations, local and international media, medical equipment suppliers and international funding organisations.
 
Access to quality eye care is one of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to reverse the cycle of poverty. When sight is restored to someone who is blind, it doesn’t just transform the life of that individual. It has a ripple effect, strengthening his/her family and community. People can go back to work to support their families; children can go to school. The whole community benefits.
 
Since 1991 we have facilitated over 50,000 sight restoring operations. Our goal is to eliminate curable blindness in Indonesia. Your support can help us reach this goal.
