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

Hey guys if you've made it to this page please dig deep and support this awesome charity.

I'm volunteering in November to go and work with a vision aid team in Ethiopia for three weeks. The Vision Aid charity organises and sends small teams of optometrists out to remote areas in developing countries where they are needed most.

Our work in Ethiopia will involve:

           Testing and dispensing glasses.

           Helping to organise treatment for the many eye conditions we will encounter.

           Training local nurses and opticians to provide eyecare in their own communities.

I think that Vision aid is a such a worthy charity which is why i'm going to put myself through the pain of THE GREAT NORTH RUN. Please pledge your support. Even a few pounds pay for a pair of glasses and give perfect sight to a person that has grown up thinking they were almost blind.


Thanks
