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

Dear All,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I shall be running in the British 10K run on July 1. I am running for a charity that is close to my heart. VAO has helped to make a difference to thousands of people in the developing country by giving them the gift of sight.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online. It doesn't matter what the amount is. Each pound is a step closer to reaching my target.

Imagine a your life without your sight...it is one of the most precious senses we have been gifted with. Do something good today and help somebody see.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: 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 sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Priya
