and give a gift that a will last a lifetime
“When I was blind I felt totally helpless. Now I can take care of my family again. Thank you!”
A campaign is underway, involving hundreds of leading Asian restaurants across the UK, which invites you to make a small donation to help restore sight to vulnerable poor people in Bangladesh.
At the end of your meal, a voluntary charge of £1 per table will be added to your bill (after service and VAT). You can easily opt out if you inform your table waiter that you do not wish to participate.
What is Vision Bangladesh?
Vision Bangladesh is a ground breaking partnership between BRAC and Sightsavers.
Our aim is to eradicate avoidable blindness in Sylhet by 2013 and across the whole of Bangladesh by 2020. We are already well on the way to achieving this ambitious task. Since January 2011, we have organised more than 21,000 successful cataract operations.
We need your help to continue our work and reach our target of performing 100,000 sight restoring operations in the division of Sylhet by 2013.
A simple 20 minute operation, costing only £20, can change a person’s life forever.
Donate £1 on your bill today – and give a gift that will last a lifetime.
Itihaas Restaurant proudly supports Vision Bangladesh.
