About the volunteering opportunity
Over 950 million people worldwide need glasses but cannot afford them. Children cannot learn, adults cannot work and provide for their families. We want to change that.

Get involved and make our vision of giving all people worldwide permanent access to basic eye care a reality. You can find more information at www.eindollarbrille.de
