Global Endowment for Sight (GES) is committed to driving positive impact by creating lasting change through our programs that are locally led and prioritize inclusivity. Our programs are designed to go beyond providing free or affordable eye care, developing sustainable, self-sufficient communities of care with reduced dependence on external aid.
Our reach extends across countries including Guatemala, Haiti, Kenya, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Through our comprehensive outreach programs, we carry out essential eye tests, dispense glasses, perform life-changing surgeries, and provide informative lectures to local healthcare professionals. Discover more about our impactful international programs below by exploring the stories of the communities we serve and support in each country.
