Preventing blinding trachoma

April 2003 marks the end of a BBC World Service Trust campaign in Niger, Ghana and Nepal to help eliminate trachoma – the world's leading cause of preventable blindness.

The project will continue in 2004 in Ethiopia.

In developing countries, trachoma has taken the sight of some 6 million people.
