A gift of clear vision!
By Shayle Havemann | Project leader

Introduction
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. 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.
Report
We identify individuals in rural and disadvantaged communities across Africa and create a link with eye specialists to provide vision testing and necessary eye care, giving children in need a new chance at life, further promoting the health of the broader community. Screening by professionals will allow us to identify a child's individual need and training will be provided to the child and their family to ensure proper use and maintenance of the device. A donation of $10 provides one child with an eye test.
Thank you for your support

Introduction
A gift to this project is life-changing! Across South Africa, many parents and teachers are not equipped to identify hearing and vision impairments amongst children. Often these children go un-identified and fail their education leaving them stuck in the cycle of poverty..
Report
1.5 million children under the age of 15 are currently facing hearing impairments in South Africa. A further 2 million are subject to vision difficulties. Families are often unaware of their challenges making it hard to reach out for help or solutions. We will provide outreach programs through schools in rural and disadvantaged communities to test children for visions and hearing impairments. This will help us identify the students in need and build awareness with teachers and other key community leaders around the signs children with these disabilities will show, to ensure all children are receiving the correct help and assistance to boost their confidence and keep them on track with their education. A donation of $10 will fund an eye test for 2 students.
Thank you for your support

Report
Children that lack adequate vision and hearing, fall behind in school, often resulting in a lack of income and are also subject to bullying. By tackling the root cause of their learning difficulties, your donation will not only provide children with the ability to live life to the fullest but reduce inequalities they face on a daily basis and include them in the development process. Just $10 will fund an eye test for 2 students.
