Impact Statement
This impact rating was produced under a previous methodology that is no longer used to produce new ratings, and we are therefore unable to generate a dollar-specific impact statement.
Program Context
Sight Surgery International performs cataract surgeries to cure beneficiaries of preventable blindness.
Data Time Period
1/1/16 to 12/31/16
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact & Results scores of cataract surgery programs are based on the cost of a disability-adjusted life year (DALY) averted relative to the GDP per capita of the country in which the program operates. Programs receive an Impact & Results score of 100 if they avert a DALY for less than than the GDP per capita, and a score of 80 if they avert a DALY for less than three times GDP per capita. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65.
This nonprofit's cost per meal is less than 125% of the local meal cost.
