Transforming the lives of
2.5 billion people with the
Power of Sight through Travel.
About Us
Since 2012, Sight to Sky has been bringing community eye-care and education to remote and underserved communities in the Himalayas, through purposeful travel and volunteer missions.
“Be kind wherever possible. It is always possible.” - His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Our Goal
Our goal is to uplift rural Himalayan communities and individuals to have a better quality of life, through the simple act of helping more people to see - whether we give them eye-glasses or a new perspective through our community inspired programs.
By empowering individuals with the gift of SIGHT, we believe that we can improve the quality of one’s life, unlock the economic power of communities and ultimately, uplift an individual’s potential in life.
But that’s not all. Our Travel for Good missions have inspired hundreds of individuals through compassionate and mindful travel and have also transformed the perspectives of the volunteers through active service and experiential learning, just like it did for our Founder, Elizabeth Tan.
Transform
Our goal is to transform the lives of the 2.5 billion people who do not have access to primary eye care, especially those in vulnerable and remote communities.
By giving them the power to see, we can improve the quality of an individual’s life and unlock the economic potential of communities.
Inspire
Not only do we empower people in remote communities with sight, we seek to educate them about their own potential through self-ownership in health, education and community development.
We aspire to give our volunteers a life changing experience on our missions, by giving them the power of a new perspective through service work. We believe that volunteering is healing for humanity and we aim to cultivate the selfless service mindset.
Protect
We serve to protect the dignity and sustainability of the communities we work in through education, activism and economic regeneration. By first recognizing the vulnerability of these communities due to climate change, cultural loss or conflict, we aim to bring awareness through our mission trips and inspire others to action. We hope to change the narrative for our communities and volunteers from “them to us” and from “victim to activist”.
