Your tax deductible donation is needed more than ever. We're aiming to raise $20,000 before June 30 to help prevent blindness in developing Asia.

Sight For All raises funds to deliver eye health care projects free of charge to our partner countries and communities.

1.4 million children are blind. Asia is home to two thirds of the world's blind children.

Up to half of all children in schools for the blind in developing countries have blindness that could have been avoided.

Throughout the world 270 million people are vision impaired due to eye disease or lack of glasses.

Our voluntary team of eye care specialists will donate over 10,000 hours of time this year.
