Every
day, because of you, more people are seeing clearly – some for the first time
ever.
In
Pachalum, Guatemala, a new Vision Center is bringing eye care within reach for
123,000 people right where they live, work, and care for their families.
In
Cambodia, our partnership with the Ministry of Education will screen 20,000
students this year, ensuring children who need glasses get them early. A child
who sees clearly stays in school, dreams bigger, and can earn up to 78% more
over their lifetime.
I
recently sat down with Thriveluzern’s Regional Director in India, Kuldeep
Singh, Thriveluzern Board Chair Dr. Mariano Yee, and trainer Sunita Arora to
talk about the lasting ripple effects of training on communities. Have a
listen.
Thriveluzern’s
impact is gaining global recognition: USA Today recently spotlighted our plan
and progress to eliminate preventable blindness in Guatemala by 2032 – and to
develop a scalable blueprint that can be adapted in countries around the world.
I also had the opportunity to speak with International Business Times about how
eye care remains one of the most effective – and overlooked – tools in the
fight against global poverty.
Thank
you for making this extraordinary impact possible.
