Mission

Sight.org exists to proclaim the gospel to the most unserved regions of Africa by combating blindness through surgery and prevention.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • SIGHT-RESTORING SURGERIES (Medical Program) In 2024, Sight.org's full-time African medical team performed 1,360 sight-restoring surgeries for individuals blinded by cataracts, pterygium, and strabismus in rural Togo, West Africa. All surgeries were provided free of charge to patients living in extreme poverty with no access to hospital-based care. Since 2012, Sight.org has completed more than 10,000 surgeries and trained 36 African doctors in Manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS).
    Expenses $389,898
  • AGRICULTURAL AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM (Community Program) Sight.org continued development of its agricultural and rehabilitation initiative, transitioning it from a training platform to a refuge for individuals who are ostracized, displaced, or in crisis. The farm provides food security, employment opportunities, and community restoration while long-term infrastructure is established. Although agriculture remains central, the program's primary purpose is now to serve the physical, spiritual, and economic needs of vulnerable individuals in Togo.
    Expenses $13,302
  • EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP OUTREACH (Ministry Program) Each medical campaign includes a ministry component where Sight.org's Togolese team shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with patients and surrounding villages. Many patients come from voodoo or Islamic backgrounds and believe blindness results from spiritual curses. When sight is restored, these beliefs are often replaced with faith and hope. In 2024, the gospel was shared with over 7,400 individuals, and ministry teams continued follow-up discipleship and church-planting efforts in villages previously unreached by the gospel.
    Expenses $24,995
