About this organization
Mission
Our vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes, and where people with disabilities participate equally in society. We work with local partners in over 30 countries in Africa and Asia. Sightsavers Inc. was newly incorporated in Missouri in November 2015 as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit (EIN: 47-4657747), to which we have transferred all of our fundraising operations. These activities formerly operated under Sightsavers International, Inc., a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporated in Delaware in 2000 (EIN: 31-1740776). Sightsavers International Inc. will continue to operate for the exclusive purpose of distributing the drug Mectizan® to treat the neglected tropical disease river blindness, through an in-kind drug donation from Merck & Co., Inc.
