What does the Fred Hollows foundation do?

And I quote,The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ works in the Pacific Islands and Timor Leste where more than 80,000 people are needlessly blind. We train local eye health workers and support them to deliver high quality eye care services in their own communities. We also build and equip eye clinics, and run a surgical outreach program into remote and under-serviced communities .Our training and support establishes locally controlled and delivered eye care programs that prevent and treat avoidable blindness. Our work also contributes directly to poverty reduction by reversing the decreased productivity and social isolation that many people experience when they lose their sight .In 2011 alone, we restored sight to more than 6,000 people, trained 44 eye health workers and held 14 surgical outreaches in remote communities.
