Mission

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

Programs

2 programs

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: $13K

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.
