Raising money for

Vision Aid Overseas

Charity Registration No. 1081695

Vision Aid Overseas aims to transform access to quality eyecare in developing countries. Over 500 million people worldwide are unnecessarily visually impaired because they do not have spectacles. This is due to the significant lack of eyecare services available in low and middle income countries. For people affected the consequences can be disadvantage and disability. Our vision is a world in which everyone has access to eyecare and spectacles.

Vision Aid Overseas develops sustainable eyecare services that ensure an impact for our patients:

* We establish International Vision Centres where high quality spectacles can be manufactured and sold at an affordable price following a thorough eye examination.

* We train healthcare workers in practical eye testing and vision health skills that equips them to work as primary eyecare workers in their local communities.

* We utilize the expertise of UK optical professionals who develop outreach services in areas away from existing facilities and who undertake teaching programmes across the developing world.

Our work is focused on improving the lives of people who are marginalised by poor eyesight and motivated by our belief that good vision should be a right for all, not just those who can afford it.

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. In June I am going to Malawi on a Vision Aid Overseas project where I will be working in a team of six, setting up clinics, screening large numbers of patients and providing spectacles where necessary. I am looking for donations to support this very worthwhile charity in order that projects can help as many people as possible, in clinics like this and also in training local health workers to examine eyes and manufacture spectacles.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a donation: Vision Aid Overseas will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please make a donation now! Every little helps.

Many thanks for your support, Janet.
