Introduction
Across South Africa and Africa many parents and teachers are not equipped to identify hearing and vision impairment amongst children. Even when issues are declared, parents and schools lack the resources and funding to do adequate checks to be able to assist those suffering and provide glasses and hearing aids to those in need.
Report
By providing rural and disadvantaged communities across Africa with an outreach program through the schools to test children for hearing and vision will help us identify the students in need and build awareness with teachers and other key community leaders of the initial signs a child will show that needs assistance with their hearing or vision. Just USD10 will provide eye tests for 2 children. We have managed to raise USD46 so far which enables us to provide tests for 8 children so far please help us to test more children.
