Sight.org is a Texas-based Christian nonprofit working in Togo, Africa. Their mobile eye clinic teams travel to rural villages for surgery and to spread the gospel.

Sight.org has performed 8,143 surgeries, trained 32 eye surgeons in Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS), and shared the gospel with 51,000+ people. God is the Way Maker, and the Sight.org team believes God made a way to reach the unreached by first giving sight to the blind.

When Sight.org goes to a village, they must receive permission from the chief to share the gospel. Through giving sight to the blind, they have never been denied permission since 2012. Hundreds of chiefs, predominantly Muslim or Voodoo, have granted their requests, providing access to villages where the gospel was forbidden. God made the way.

Sight.org would love for you to join them in giving sight while opening doors to share the gospel.

In 2025, there are multiple opportunities for Ophthalmologists with MSICS training to volunteer:

• April 7-12
• May 19-24
• June 30-July 5
• August 11-16

“This is definitely my favorite program to work with in Africa to utilize my skills and to help a large number of patients. Sight.org is a great organization with an excellent in-country support team. I highly recommend Sight.org for a true African eye surgical mission experience.” -- Dr. Ed Kondrot
