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

Did you know that over 670 million people (>10% of the world's population) are visually impaired simply because they don't have spectacles?

 

In October 2011 I will be spending 2 weeks in Uganda with Vision Aid Overseas giving eye examinations and distributing spectacles, and am fundraising for this wonderful project.

 

In Uganda a pair of spectacles can make the difference between being able to work, and a family going hungry. 


JUST £5 ENABLES VISION AID OVERSEAS TO PROVIDE AN EYE EXAMINATION AND PAIR OF SPECTACLES.

 

Your support and contribution to this project would be deeply appreciated.
