 <http://www.uniteforsight.org/>Dear Friend of Unite For Sight,We are absolutely delighted to announce that Unite For Sight has worked with our eye clinic partners in Ghana, Honduras, and India to provide quality eye care to 1.7 million patients living in extreme poverty, including 74,226 sight-restoring surgeries for patients who were otherwise unable to access or afford care!  We have worked with our local partner doctors to provide more than 11,000 essential surgeries during the past 10 months alone.

Unite For Sight is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is a recognized global health leader <http://www.uniteforsight.org/volunteer-abroad/awards>, and we address health care delivery for patients living in extreme poverty.  The eye care is provided by local eye doctors.  The communities where we work did not previously have access to eye care due to extensive barriers. Unite For Sight's model has enabled local doctors to create real change and a sustainable impact for those living in extreme poverty.

We would like to share an example of the remarkable model that we have developed with our partners. Unite For Sight has partnered with five of the forty-five ophthalmologists in Ghana.  Unite For Sight's five ophthalmologist partners (11% of the ophthalmologists in the country) are providing more than 50% of all surgeries done in Ghana, and those surgeries are provided to patients living in extreme poverty who would otherwise be unable to access or afford quality care.  It is our privilege and honor to support the phenomenal work of our local partner eye clinics as they provide eye care for patients in their country.

We need your support to enable us to continue reaching increasing numbers of patients each month.  We will deeply appreciate a donation in any amount, and 100% will provide eye care for patients living in extreme poverty.  0% is used for any other purpose.  A donation of $50 will enable one blind patient to have their sight fully restored, and $250 provides sight-restoring surgery for five patients in need.  We look forward to whatever support you can provide: http://www.uniteforsight.org/give
