Raising money for

Vision Aid Overseas

Charity Registration No. 1081695

Vision Aid Overseas is a charity dedicated to people in the developing world whose lives are blighted by poor eyesight. 300 million people world wide need spectacles to live an ordinary life, but do not have them due to poverty and the lack of optical services. The World Health Organisation has acknowledged this as the leading cause of avoidable visual impairment. Many people who are functionally blind simply need spectacles to see. Without them children fail at school, mothers and fathers have to stop working and elderly people are forced to live without dignity. The consequences for individuals and their communities can be devastating.

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.
