Become A New Leader in Global Health
Unite For Sight: High Impact Volunteer Abroad Opportunities
Volunteer in Ghana, Honduras, or India
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Opportunities
Unite For Sight has been featured weekly on CNN International and in The New York Times Unite For Sight engages, inspires, and trains volunteers to support and assist eye clinics globally. Our volunteers receive hands-on training in international community-based eye care, public health, and international development, and while immersed in effective Unite For Sight programs, they gain skills to become new leaders in global health dedicated to creating lasting solutions for change. Volunteers work with local ophthalmic nurses, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to support and assist the clinic in outreach programs that reduce barriers to health care. With the assistance of volunteers like you, Unite For Sight has restored sight to 20,028 patients and provided eye care to 600,000.
Why Is Eye Care Important? 80% of all blindness is preventable or curable. Blindness impacts quality of life, ability to work, and leads to increased mortality in the developing world, where the life expectancy of a blind person is one-third less than that of their sighted peers.
