Because of little to no access to opticians and/or glasses, the most common global eye problem is uncorrected vision. 2.5 billion people, 80% of them in just 20 countries, need a simple pair of glasses. Poor vision is a clear barrier to education and employment, and most children and their families in the poorest areas of the world are often unaware of their difficulties.
Children that lack adequate vision, fall behind in school and are often eventually left unemployed. By tackling the root cause of their learning difficulties, the donation will not only provide children with the ability to live life to the fullest, but to reduce inequalities they face on a daily basis and include them in the development process.
A donation of $20 provides one child with clear vission, thank you for your support.
