A gift that lasts a lifetime

She knows her child’s sight is growing poor and with your help, she’ll see once more.

Lately, Sbahle* has noticed that something is going wrong with her little girl’s vision.

Her daughter has started squinting to focus and has stopped reading her storybooks aloud. “My eyes feel tired – like they’re full of sand,” Amahle* says softly.

For any parent, it’s heartbreaking to see your child struggling, especially when you can’t afford to help.

But in their mining hometown near Witbank, unemployment runs deep, and even basic eye care is a luxury.

That’s why we’re reaching out to you today, to ask if you’ll send your gift towards a free eye screening for Amahle, before the end of the year by clicking here now.

Your gift will make a big difference to children and relief to worried parents!

With your support, our Bureau for the Prevention of Blindness will continue to roll out our mobile eye clinics to low-income schools and communities across South Africa.

These clinics bring skilled optometrists and nurses to perform vital vision screenings, prescribe spectacles, and refer more complex cases for treatment.

Nine-year-old Amahle, who lives with her mother and brother in a small, corrugated shack, can’t wait for the clinic to visit her school.

It will be her first-ever eye screening. And with your help, it could change her future!

“I want to see the board at school and read all the words in my books. When I grow up, I want to be a teacher, so that I can help other children to read.”

Thousands of children are struggling in silence with preventable vision problems.

Many fall behind in class. Some don’t even know that the world is not meant to be blurred!

Your donation – made by clicking here now – can change that, ensuring that these children are not left behind.

So please, if you can, click here to send your gift today and restore dignity and possibility to children like Amahle.
