Missions | Sight Is A Right

Uganda, Africa

March 16 – 27, 2025

Have you ever wanted to go to Africa? Your opportunity has arrived.

We are thrilled to announce our 2025 mission to Mother Africa, Uganda 2025. We will be serving in the village of Kasese, a short drive from the famous safari site of Queen Elizabeth National Park in the southwest of the country. This area is in dire need of eye care, and this mission is guaranteed to be epic. You don’t want to miss out on this very special bucket list adventure.

The mission will occur inclusive of our in-country dates of March 16 (Sunday) to March 27, 2025 (Thursday). We will fly into Entebbe International Airport. We will lodge at the two beautiful lodges (in Kampala and Kasese) of For World Wide Smiles, who will be our primary partner on this journey. The organization, whose founders I have known for 20 years, is focused on free dental care in the area. They have great expertise and connections in Uganda, so we will be getting an insiders experience.

We will conduct our free eye care clinic over four days from Wednesday, March 19 to Saturday, March 22. This will allow us several days for ground travel, shopping, site seeing, and an optional safari.

The project donation for this mission is only $1500 per volunteer. Please know that all of your project donation is used to fund program and project activities. Sight is a Right is an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. Your project donation and airfare are tax deductible as allowable by law.

Up to 11 nights lodging from Sunday, March 16 to Thursday, March 27. This may be shortened to as little as 8 nights if necessary, but you will miss several fun activities.
