The challenge we're addressing

In many communities across Ghana, getting eye care can be out of reach. For families living on lower incomes, the cost of transportation, clinic visits, tests, glasses, and treatment can be a major barrier. The WHO estimates that 2 out of 3 people in low-income countries who need eyeglasses don't have access to them. As a result, many people only seek help once vision problems have become severe.

However, many vision-threatening conditions are treatable — and in many cases preventable. The lack of access to screening and timely care means people often go without help until vision loss is advanced. Prevention and early detection are essential.

What our outreach focuses on

We focus on the most common causes of vision loss, with the goal of catching problems early and preventing avoidable blindness:

Our partnership model

Every contribution helps bring care closer to communities — whether that means providing a pair of glasses, supporting the tools needed to detect early disease, or ensuring local healthcare workers are part of a sustainable, community-led approach. By working with local ophthalmic health care providers and Ghana Health Service, we ensure follow-up pathways stay open long after our visits.
