Listen to a cataract surgery patient talk about his sight restoration

Fundraising can make a world of difference for children and adults in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Become part of a global health solution today!

  • In the African country of Benin, there are 5 ophthalmologists for the entire country of 7.3 million people.
  • At Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana, there were no ophthalmologists for 77,000 people.
  • A 15-minute cataract surgery operation restores sight to blind people.
  • Each cataract surgery costs an average of $50 in developing countries

Here are a few examples of what your support will do:

$50 restores sight to 1 person
$500 restores sight to 10 people
$2,500 restores sight to 50 people
$2,800 provides 350 brand new eyeglasses for children and adults
$5,000 restores sight to 100 people in Africa

We welcome children, students, professionals, and communities to host an event to raise funds for Unite For Sight's global programs. We can help you plan the event, ranging from concerts, plays, movie nights, car washes and yard sales to bake sales.

Because of the context in which I encountered the profound need, I did not come away with a sense of hopelessness or fatalism. Rather, I came away with the strong sense that it was necessary for me, like the Sinha family of ophthalmologists, to take active part in fixing the problems that I had seen. Indeed, it is impossible to spend two weeks with the Sinha family without coming to understand that a single, motivated person is absolutely capable of changing the world.
