Communications Manager at Cure Blindness Project

About Cure Blindness Project

For more than 43 million people, blindness is a daily reality; another 295 million suffer from moderate to severe vision impairment. 90% of these people live in low- and middle-income communities where access to eye care is limited. However, there is hope: 80% of this burden is treatable or preventable. For example, 17 million blind people could be cured with a 10-minute cataract surgery. Millions more suffer from corneal blindness, which is often preventable or treatable.

At Cure Blindness Project, we believe avoidable blindness can – and must – be overcome. For more than 30 years, we have worked alongside a capable network of collaborators to help people around the world retain and regain their sight by developing high-quality, cost-effective eye care systems in underserved areas. With partners in more than 30 countries, we have provided more than 1.6 million sight-restoring surgeries and screened more than 16.5 million people for care and basic treatments. We have trained more than 20,100 eye health professionals and established 5 eye hospitals.

Cure Blindness Project is expanding its team to meet new challenges, scale its work, and broaden its reach. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about changing lives and want to be part of a team working together to reach new heights.
