Testimonials
Grace Lime
Donor
I see a donation to LIGHT FOR THE WORLD as an investment with a high revenue. When you save someone’s eyesight, you save a life. Buy one jeans less in a year and save someone’s eyesight.
Paulien Bruijn
Coordinator Inclusive Development
We help people with disabilities with rehabilitation and education and train other development organisations to reach people with disabilities in their programmes. I am looking forward to the day when we are no longer needed.
Colin Low
Politician and law scholar
I have high regard for the highly professional and committed work LIGHT FOR THE WORLD does in combating injustice and inequality and the marginalisation of disadvantaged groups throughout the world.
