You can make a difference

This month, a SEE team is traveling to Namibia to restore sight to people in need. We’ve set a fundraising goal of $25,000 that will help cover the costs associated with essential programs like this one.

A goal of this amount can help support over 500 sight-restoring surgeries in Namibia. That’s over 500 lives changed for the better, and your support can make it happen. Donate now!

How SEE Changes Lives

We bring medical volunteers and partners together to care for the people who need it most. Our teams work side-by-side with local doctors and clinics to improve access to high-quality eyecare and surgery.

Together, we break the cycle of hardship that preventable blindness causes, making patients, families, and communities healthier and stronger.
