EventsOur members sold shutter shades throughout the year to help. And for every 25 shutter shades we sold, we were able to get 1 childbirth a full eye check and a pair or prescribed glasses--something they couldn't have done without our help.

Summary Around the world, there are 284 million people who suffer from poor vision (WHO). This year Leo Club decided to partner up with Lions International with their project, OneSight! OneSight is an organization determined to provide glasses for the visually impaired. In many places, and to many people, it’s very difficult to buy or afford a pair of glasses. By donating glasses to children and adults, we help a child’s ability to learn and adults with their independence. OneSight is able to do this at a low cost because of partnerships with local doctors and volunteers, which gives them the ability to prescribe and pair a child or adult with glasses that fit their needs. OneSight has already helped people around the world from Chile to India, to the Philippines. By partnering up with Lions International, we hope to restore vision to many more people worldwide.
