First Stage Complete: Hohoe Gains Sight!

Final preparations for Phase 1 are underway!

 

Team of opticians grinding glasses for Ghana mission

From October 27 to 30, we will kick off our mission in Hohoe and the surrounding communities. There, we will distribute over 100 customized prescription glasses that were prescribed during our previous visit.

A Look Behind the Scenes: The Power of Volunteers

These glasses are the tangible result of weeks of hard work in the Netherlands! Our fantastic volunteers have worked tirelessly to perfectly grind all the lenses and place them into the frames.

It is inspiring to see the level of dedication behind every pair of glasses we bring. With precision and care, they ensure that the people in Ghana receive the exact correction they need for better vision.

A Heartfelt Thank You

This would not have been possible without the enormous support of our partners and donors.

A special thank you goes out to:

  • Luxottica, for their indispensable contribution to this project.

  • All generous opticians who donated countless frames.

  • Our donors and benefactors – thanks to your financial support, we can make the materials, logistics, and training possible. Your help is literally light for the eye.

Ready for the Next Step: The Challenge of Adzato

The distribution of these glasses in Hohoe is the perfect start to our journey. As soon as Phase 1 is completed, our team will move to the Adzato Electoral Area for the second, comprehensive phase of the mission (October 31 – November 4).

This next phase is our greatest challenge and opportunity: we are bringing specialized eye care to villages that are even further removed from regular medical infrastructure. Stay tuned for the full announcement of this ambitious project.

Together we bring sight and hope. Thank you for being a part of this mission!
