1 in 4 kids needs
Your help to see clearly.
A simple pair of glasses for a student in need fuels their potential, and sets them on a new path.
what’s the big deal about glasses?
Right now, 25% of students in the United States have a vision problem that hasn’t been diagnosed. There are a lot of reasons why, but the benefits of giving kids in need glasses is huge:
2x learning
For kids who can’t see well, it’s like missing half a school year. Glasses put them back on track.
FEWER DROPOUTS
Getting glasses reduces the chance that kids with vision problems will drop out. By as much as 44%!
MORE CONFIDENCE
Kids who can’t see are often shy and withdrawn. Glasses help them come out of their shell.
KIDS LIKE COLT
For his 7th birthday, Colt got his first pair of glasses. He lives in one of the most economically challenged parts of the country and without glasses, he would be at a high risk for dropping out of school. But, as he puts it, with glasses ‘now I can see everything perfectly!’
FUEL THEIR POTENTIAL
Just $10 can give a student in need a pair of glasses and open a lifetime of learning.
