Over the past two years, working with 27 different partners, we distributed 274,937 pairs of glasses to people in Ukraine. This project was made possible through our relationship with RestoringVision, an incredible organization that has provided glasses to more than 28 million people across 147 countries. Thousands of people all across Ukraine, including those in cities adjacent to the front lines, are once again able to see more clearly and carry out tasks of daily living.
Our glasses program has reached people from all segments of the population: from young adults, to parents, to the elderly, to the disabled, and to the infirm. With the ongoing difficult economic conditions, many people are forced to forgo a new pair of glasses in order ensure they have sufficient food and heat. But glasses are not an accessory, they are an essential item to for people to navigate their lives. Every pair of glasses we provide help people interact with loved ones and engage in important and enjoyable activities.
We are grateful to RestoringVision and our partners in Ukraine, all of whom made critical contributions to this life changing initiative. Working together we made the world a little brighter for more than 270,000 people!
With your help, we continue to save lives and restore hope.
