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

Hey All,

Its me again...off on my mission to save the world.

So this time im off to Burkina Faso on a trip with Vision Aid Overseas. I shall be going in the first two weeks of Dec. There are eight of us going and while I am there I shall be testing eyes and dispensing spectacles in improvised clincs, so they shall be far from the the comforts of my testing rooms that I am used to!!

Before you think of it, no i'm not asking you to sponsor my trip. I fund that myself by donating £600.

I've done the silence, the famine, the run and this time I am just asking for a donation and maybe you could suggest something for me to do!! (within reason)

Every penny helps as each project costs £2000-£5000.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

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 and make a difference.

Thank you for always supporting me.

Priya
