​World Nomads micro donations

World Nomads is an organisation dedicated to raising funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation through micro-donations technology. Founded by World Nomads Group, the Footprints Network facilitates thousands of micro-donations to support community development programs around the world.


When you buy travel insurance through World Nomads or Travel Insurance Direct, you can choose to add a small donation to your policy to help fund our sight-restoring work. It’s similar to traditional charity boxes found at retail counters, but in this case it works as an option to add a small amount to the bill.

Collectively, these small donations make a huge difference to thousands of people living with avoidable blindness. Since partnering with The Fred Hollows Foundation, Footprints has raised an astounding $715,000 to fight avoidable blindness in more than 25 countries around the world. This incredible model shows that everyone can make a difference, a few dollars at a time. If you are interested in facilitating micro-donations via your organisation, please get in touch today.
