Unite For Sight's Goal: To sponsor 17,000 sight-restoring surgeries 2006-2008.

Unite For Sight supports eye clinics worldwide by investing human and financial resources in their social ventures to eliminate patient barriers to eye care.

"Unite For Sight has ballooned, and last year it provided eye care to 200,000 people," --Nicholas D. Kristof, "The Age of Ambition," The New York Times, January 27, 2008

Unite For Sight® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers communities worldwide to improve eye health and eliminate preventable blindness.

Unite For Sight applies best practices in eye care, public health, volunteerism, and social entrepreneurship to achieve our goal of high quality eye care for all. To date, we have provided eye care services to more than 600,000 people worldwide. Our unwavering commitment to creating a real, lasting impact involves four types of innovative programs: chapters at North American universities, Global Impact Corps in North America, locally-led international eye care programs, and an annual global health conference.

Unite For Sight has trained 5,200 volunteers who work in their local communities and abroad with local eye clinics to provide eye health programs for those without previous access.

I wish to thank Unite For Sight for the wonderful job she has done. The outpour of gratitude, by people whose sight has been restored or can now read using reading glasses, makes me find satisfaction from service to humanity.
