Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Vision Action aim to make eye care accessible and affordable overseas. We help the world to see through innovative programmes that reach out to some of the most remote communities throughout Africa. We began in 1989 and will continue until everyone across Africa has access to basic eye care.

Story

Thank you very much for visiting my Vision Aid Overseas fundraising page. 

This May I will be returning to Ethiopia with 4 colleagues to continue helping people who suffer from poor eyesight.  We will be travelling to remote areas to provide eye exams to detect treatable disease and provide spectacles to people who otherways would not have access to them.

Providing eye care in developing countries would not be possible without your support. I have increased the target to £1,500 to raise before this coming trip. Thank you to everyone who has been so kind to donate before previous trips.  I realise that finances might be tight right now, but donating just £20 more might change the lives of several people in Africa.  Myself and every team member will each be donating £600 of our own money (again), but this doesn't even come close to covering the cost of the trip.  This is where we need your help...

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.

Many thanks for your support.
