What do we do?
Our
objective is to improve the sight and well-being of visually impoverished
people throughout the world. We are all volunteers who work together
as a non-profit, humanitarian organization. We are a publicly supported
charity. We achieve our objective through direct clinic and education
activities and partnership efforts with those who share our objective.
Our material resources come from donations and support from those
who share our objective. Our work is done without regard to race,
religion, nationality or political belief because we believe the
right to sight is a basic human right.

- Succeed
with its partners in accomplishing the aims of VISION 2020, the
worldwide program to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020.
- Train
people in underprivileged countries in eyecare skills
