Together, we can restore sight, break the cycle of poverty, and create an eye health system that works for everyone. Be part of a solution that changes lives and builds futures

Our global commitment

Global challenges demand local solutions.

Eye Corps aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

These goals were developed to recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth.

Sustainable
Development
Goal

Good Health
and Well-Being

We advance SDG 3 by restoring vision and delivering quality, accessible care.

05
Sustainable
Development
Goal

Gender
Equality

We fight for SDG 5 by ensuring women and girls—who make up the majority of the world’s blind—aren’t left behind.

01
Sustainable
Development
Goal

No
Poverty

We support SDG 1 by helping patients return to work, children return to school, and families break free from the economic trap of preventable blindness.

17
Sustainable
Development
Goal

Partnerships
for the Goals

We embody SDG 17 by building everything we do alongside Tanzanian institutions, never in place of them.

These goals aren’t abstract. They’re built into every patient we reach, every resident we train, and every future we help restore.
