Grace Vision is an established Christian Non- profit organisation. Avoidable Blindness is a debilitating condition which impacts heavily on deep rural communities who have little or no access to quality eye care. In many cases unnecessarily blindness will result in a young child being robbed of an education to become a carer for the blind person.
In addition, several children who are in school are disadvantaged because they have correctible poor/low vision. Grace Vision’s mission is to ensure that NO child is disadvantaged due to poor/low vision, and that ALL adults in need of corrective interventions to restore sight are treated free of charge.
