About SAIL Central America

SAIL’s mission is to restore the gift of vision by providing funding for cataract surgeries and empowering local medical staff. Because we build relationships with established organizations, we have almost no overhead and donations can go directly to providing this life changing surgery. this

Why Quito?

Ecuador is about the size of Nevada, covering 190,000 square miles, but critically, the elevation of Quito is 9,350 feet above sea level. The intensity of the sun at that elevation is the primary cause of widespread cataract damage

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Cataracts were selected because the surgery is safe and modestly inexpensive at $200 US per patient. You can give sight to someone today!

Meet Our Partner

The surgeries are conducted by Fundacion Vista Para Todos, based in Quito, Ecuador. They possesses the surgical suite, eye care doctors, and all other necessary professionals, including surgical techs and pharmacists.
