YOU Make a Difference – Meet the Graduates!
Donations to Optometry Giving Sight make an impact by giving sight to people in need through the projects we fund. One of our funding priorities is to train local people as optometrists in the communities in which they live, all over the world. One of the most successful optometry schools we fund is in Mzuzu, Malawi.

Alisha fait partie des personnes qui bénéficient de ce projet. Alisha est âgée de 10 ans, elle est en 4e année et elle vit avec sa mère et sa sœur cadette.
