Problem
VisionSpring has a huge impact on the areas where it operates. VisionSpring helps train low-income men and women to start their own micro-franchises selling reading glasses. It also restores eyesight to millions of the world's poorest people, who, without clear vision would lose income or drop out of the labor force altogether. However, Vision Entrepreneurs are limited to the number of people they can serve and there are many people in need of eye care that VisionSpring has yet to reach.
The Gift
Your gift of $1,000 will enable VisionSpring to grow and develop in a new region, bringing vision and economic opportunity to more of the developing world. Your money will allow for the training of new Vision Entrepreneurs, development of new regionally specific marketing materials, and the purchase of the new reading glasses that are necessary to launch a project in a new location.
