Help Haider!
See His Dreams Come True
A Young Boy from Chichawatni With Dreams Bigger Than His Challenges
“Haider is a young, blind boy from the rural town of Chichawatni. But despite his blindness, Haider holds on to something powerful — a dream to study, learn, and one day uplift his community.”
He doesn't ask for much. Just a chance to see.
At Sight for Life Trust, we are striving to provide Haider with the life-changing eye treatment he needs. With your support, we can help him open his eyes — not just to the world around him, but to a future full of possibility.
Haider Tries to Study Through Braille
Even though he can’t see, Haider tries to study using braille. He wants to learn — all he needs is his sight back.
Haider Could Be Your Future Teacher or Doctor
We meet hundreds of children in need like Haider — kids with brilliant minds but treatable blindness. Often, they give up on their dreams simply because they can’t see the blackboard or read a book.
But with timely medical support and proper care, so many of these cases are reversible. All they need is a helping hand.
