2.2 billion people around the world have a vision impairment.
Gift Sight Foundation mission is to eliminate avoidable blindness by creating a cycle of sustainable vision care. Join us as we lay the foundation to turn the problem of curable blindness into an opportunity for communities to create more jobs and increase access to eye care.
