WHAT’S GOING ON: 
In countries like Morocco, eye cataract is quite a common disease among craftsmen. Due to this eye condition the artisans are unable to do their craft and earn a living. 

The surgery is neither complicated nor expensive but for these families even a simple surgery is not affordable at all. 

WHAT WE DID. 
The way PortrAid works is pretty simple: A well known artist takes a portrait of the artisan suffering from cataract. The photographs, which are also buyable on this website, get exhibited at galleries. The return from the sales of these PortrAid’s is then directly used to help pay for the operation costs of the person in it. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO. 
Get a piece of art, give a bit of sight.
The portraits are 42 x 60 cm in size, printed on Fine Art Baryta and encased in a black stained wooden frame with anti-reflective glass.
