HCP Cureblindness (HCP) Invites Job Applications

• Position: Consultant, Gender Equality Consultancy and Training
• Location: Ghana
• Position Type: Short-Term Contract

Organizational Profile:

HCP Cureblindness (HCP) is an international NGO that has been working in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa for over 25 years with a capable network of collaborators to help people retain and regain their sight by developing high-quality, cost-effective eye care systems in underserved areas around the world. More than 43 million people live with blindness on a daily basis, while another 295 million have moderate to severe vision impairment.

90% of these people live in low- and middle-income regions, where access to eye care is restricted and those who are unable to see face significant obstacles. However, there is hope: 80% of this load is curable or preventable. For example, a 10-minute cataract procedure might treat 17 million blind people. Millions more suffer from corneal blindness, which is frequently avoidable or treatable. At HCP Cureblindness, we believe that preventable blindness can and should be overcome. With the assistance of partners in over 25 countries, HCP has performed over 1.4 million sight-restoring procedures and examined over 14.5 million patients to give care and basic therapies.

We’ve trained more than 19,500 eye health professionals and opened five eye hospitals. There is still more work to be done, but we can tackle the mountain of global blindness together.

• VISION: We will be the spark for creating a future in which no one is needlessly blind.
• MISSION: We help countries end avoidable blindness by creating high-quality, cost-effective eye care systems in underserved areas around the world, allowing everyone to regain or retain their sight.
