Join Us in Creating a Vision-Equitable Future
Your support can transform lives. Together, we can ensure that every person in Cabo Verde has the gift of clear vision. Let's build a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone.
The Vision Access Program (previously known as the Nu Odja Program) is dedicated to providing access to vision care for individuals in Cape Verde. We recognize that poor vision can have a significant impact on mental health, affecting interpersonal interactions, confidence, and overall well-being.
Our goal is to bridge the gap in resources and ensure that everyone in our community has access to the vision care they need. In Cabo Verde, the cost of a pair of glasses is often equivalent to the monthly minimum wage, making it difficult for many individuals to obtain proper vision care.
We believe that prescription glasses should not be an expensive luxury, and we are committed to providing them at no cost to those born in poverty.
