Join Vision Aid Overseas for an unforgettable experience running the 2021 Virgin Money London Marathon.
A staggering 1.2 billion people cannot see clearly to earn a living and learn in school and 89% live in the developing world. By joining our team, you will not only be taking part in an amazing, new event, but you will also be helping to transform the lives of some of the world's most marginalised people.
Did you know over $200 billion worth of productivity is lost worldwide, every year, because people do not have the glasses they need to keep working?
Before Fatimata, a Maternal and Child Health Nurse in Sierra Leone, was seen by Vision Aid Overseas, it had become hard for her to do her work. As her sight declined, she struggled to see drug information and do intravenous work on her patients.

However, thanks to supporters like you, we were able to provide her with an eye test and a pair of glasses for just £5. Now she can continue to support her patients. Your amazing support will allow us to transform the lives of many more people like Fatimata.
I can see clearly again and can now do my shift duties without struggling. I am so thankful!
