Free Glasses for Schoolkids with Poor Sight

Dear donors,

We sincerely thank you for supporting the “Free Glasses for Schoolkids with Poor Sight” project. The donations received so far are enough to provide about 12–13 pairs of reading glasses, but more help is needed to screen children properly and supply glasses to all who require them. Your continued support will allow us to roll out this project fully and reach the many students struggling with poor vision.

Many schoolchildren in public schools cannot see the board clearly, read books, or copy notes accurately. Over 1,500 children in the target areas face this challenge, yet many families cannot afford eye tests or prescription glasses. Without help, these children may be unfairly judged as lazy or inattentive, when the real problem is a simple vision issue that can be corrected.

This project will provide 1,500 vision screenings and supply 500 prescription eyeglasses to children in need. Trained health workers will visit schools, check eyesight, and fit glasses that match each child’s prescription. Children will also receive guidance on caring for their glasses to ensure they last and continue to improve learning.

With proper vision, children can participate more confidently in class, complete homework accurately, and engage fully in school activities. This simple support can boost their learning outcomes, self-confidence, and reduce the risk of dropping out due to preventable challenges.

Every contribution will help more children see clearly and succeed in school. Your assistance can turn what seems like a small gift into a life-changing opportunity for a student struggling to learn.

Kind regards,

Dear Donors,

We sincerely thank you in advance for considering this project. Your interest already means hope for children who struggle in classrooms because they cannot see the board or read their books clearly.

Poor eyesight is an often-overlooked barrier to education in Nigeria. Many families in low-income communities cannot afford eye tests or prescription glasses. As a result, children are wrongly labeled as lazy or slow learners when, in truth, they simply cannot see. This contributes to poor academic performance, frustration, and in some cases children dropping out of school. Studies show that millions of Nigerian children live with untreated vision problems, yet basic interventions such as eye screening and glasses could make a lasting difference.

Our plan is to visit schools in underserved communities with trained opticians who will carry out simple sight tests for students. Those identified with vision challenges will be given prescription glasses free of charge. Parents and teachers will also be involved, so they can understand how to support children with poor sight. With clear vision, students can read at night, follow lessons in class, and participate fully in school activities.

Although no funds have been received yet, we are ready to begin as soon as donations come in. Each contribution will go directly to covering eye screening costs, glasses production, and distribution to children who need them most.

We sincerely thank you for your kindness in considering this project.

Warm regards,
Kadiri, Ugbede-Ojo Dominic
