They are doing a huge service to the underprivileged with the Gift of Sight. I have introduced them to an Ophthalmology group for further help in Giving Sight Global.

What I love about GSG is how focused it is on being inclusive, teaching sustainability and being innovative on ways of treating avoidable blindness.

This feature in TOAST Magazine says it all. GSG is a "Game Changer". https://mytoastlife.com/how-one-organization-is-planning-to-end-avoidable-blindness/

Give Sight Global is generating the funds for physicians to take life-changing eye care to people around the world. Give Sight Global's mission to improve the lives of others is exactly why Physicians Thrive donates a portion of our profits to GSG. Physicians Thrive works with amazing physicians and medical professionals that have shared their passion for outreach with us, so much that it has become the driving force behind what we do. Work with us to give more to this incredible nonprofit by visiting physiciansthrive.com.

I love this nonprofit because the impact it has is so transformational. Every patient with a vision impairment gets to have their life back because of the eye surgeons and technicians who donate their time and use the money raised for the cause. The effect is almost instantaneous and it is possible without a large investment through this organization.

Give Sight Global has found a simple way to immediately and dramatically improve the lives of hundreds of people around the world. We in the industrialized world take our sight for granted in many ways. Modern medicine and optometry make effective vision capability a virtual certainty for nearly everyone. It is hard therefore to imagine that this isn't the case worldwide. Give Sight identified this problem and is correcting it in order to give people their lives back!

Give Sight Global is amazing! What a beautiful concept, taking calories and turning them into donations! It benefits the user as well as those with medical needs in developing countries and communities. I ran my first 10k because of GSG, have changed 30 lives, helped raise $758, and burned 91,017 calories using their app.

Give sight global allows you to make a difference in peoples lives and all you have to do is download the app and workout. It's a great cause and very simple to do. The app makes it easy to make a huge difference in other peoples lives without changing much of your schedule (if you already work out).

Give Sight Global is a non-profit with a great cause and an interesting new twist on fundraising. By donating your burned calories through their app, Give Sight, this non-profit will go out and match those calories burned to new money for eye surgeries so that you can directly impact other peoples lives just by exercising!

GSG is all about restoring sight to those who can't see while ALSO encouraging health and well-being for the rest of us. They have an app called "Give Sight" that you can use to upload your workouts and for every 120 calories burned, they will match it with a $1 donation towards eye surgeries. A win for all involved!

This nonprofit doesn't ask for money. They ask that you donate your calories that you burn while working out. These calories then get turned into dollars by donors. These dollars go to providing sight to those that can't see. Simple. How could you not support this nonprofit?

Sight is something we take for granted everyday, and in my own life I have always wanted to create impact on a much bigger scale. GSG gives the opportunity to do things you love and change another person's future!

It's great that anyone can participate in restoring sight to the blind a real way. Give Sight Global allows and encourages me to exercise and stay healthy while having a direct impact on other people's lives. We all take our sight for granted and Give Sight connects people in such a simple yet profound way where everyone wins!
