Unite For Sight has volunteer opportunities in refugee camps in Ghana,
Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Volunteers work with the refugee
communities to document their stories and help them achieve their goals,
whether through education or through starting small businesses. Unite For
Sight volunteer opportunities also include health-related programs:
prescribe eyeglasses; implement eye health education programs; screen for
eye disease and coordinate eye care by doctors.
