How to Get Involved
CATARACTS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF BLINDNESS WORLDWIDE.
Become a Volunteer
When you volunteer, you become a vital part of this life‑changing mission. Your time and energy make a direct impact. In fact, your involvement helps support sight‑saving cataract surgeries and community outreach. As a result, more people can regain their vision, independence, and quality of life.
Make A Donation
Join us for our annual Golf Invitational and other exciting sports events. Your entry fees and contributions go directly to restoring vision through cataract surgeries.
Even better, the Gift of Sight Trust is a Section 18A-approved organisation. This means your donation qualifies for an income tax deduction – making your impact both meaningful and tax-smart.
Play with purpose. Give the gift of sight.
Spread the Word
Preventable blindness should not exist. However, thousands of people still lose their sight every year. The main cause? Untreated cataracts – one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide.
That’s why the Gift of Sight initiative exists. We restore vision through life-changing cataract surgeries. In addition, we raise awareness about the importance of early detection and timely treatment.
Together, we can change lives and bring vision back to those who need it most.
SPORT FOR A CAUSE
Sport for a Cause – The Gift of Sight Golf Invitational
The Gift of Sight Golf Invitational is more than just a day on the fairways. It has grown into a powerful celebration of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and shared purpose. Most importantly, it unites people around a single goal – to make a real difference in the lives of others through restored vision.
Why We Play
At the heart of this invitational is one clear mission: to raise funds that give individuals facing preventable or treatable blindness access to life-changing cataract surgeries. For those affected, these surgeries mean restored sight, renewed independence, and a brighter future.
More Than a Round of Golf
Every putt and shared moment on the course adds up to something far greater than the game itself. This is golf with purpose. It transforms a love for sport into real impact -bringing hope and restored vision to those who need it most.
Join us, tee off for change, and help give the Gift of Sight.
NEXT EVENT: THE GIFT OF SIGHT GOLF INVITATIONAL 14 MAY 2026
Sport with a purpose. Vision for life.
Join us on Thursday, 14 May 2026 for the annual Gift of Sight Golf Invitational. It’s more than just a golf day—it’s a powerful event filled with camaraderie, purpose, and impact.
Golfers, philanthropists, and supporters will unite for one goal: to restore sight and transform lives.
Hosted by the Gift of Sight Trust, this fundraiser generates vital funds for cataract surgeries. These life-changing procedures help people who can’t afford private care and have waited years for public treatment.
Every swing, every putt, and every donation helps us move one step closer to ending preventable blindness in South Africa.
STORY ABOUT THE GIFT OF SIGHT
About the Gift of Sight Trust
The Gift of Sight Trust is a registered non-profit organisation founded in 2015 by Dr. Johann Krüger, an ophthalmologist since 1993, and Marinda de Vos.
Our mission is simple yet life-changing: to prevent and treat avoidable blindness for people who cannot afford private healthcare or who have been waiting years for treatment in the public sector.
We believe everyone deserves the gift of sight.
