Unite For Sight's Goal: To provide services for 500,000 and to sponsor 17,000 sight-restoring surgeries in 2006, 2007, & 2008.

"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's unwavering commitment to creating a real, lasting impact involves four types of innovative programs: chapters in North America, Global Impact Corps in North America, international eye care outreach programs, and an annual global health conference. Unite For Sight has trained 5,200 volunteers who work in their local communities and abroad to provide eye health programs for those without previous access and has provided eye care services to more than 600,000 people worldwide.

We apply best practices in eye care, public health, and volunteerism to achieve our goal of high quality eye care for all.

My journey in Chennai would forever change my outlook on life. Making a difference in the world is not so difficult if only one would care enough to sacrifice a part of oneself in order to change the world for the better. My experience as a Unite For Sight volunteer has inspired me to dedicate my future career to serving underprivileged communities around the world.
