“Betty Ncumbe was a basket weaver who was forced to stop due to failing eyesight. But through our Zimbabwean project partners, Soft Foot Alliance, Betty received a pair of specs and she could then see to thread her basketwork needle and resume her work to help provide for her family.”
“Shoemaker Samuel was unable to continue working when his eyesight deteriorated. But thanks to engagement with the DOXA Project in Nakuru, Kenya – one of our supported projects – he received a pair of specs and was able to resume work and provide for his family.”
“When three daughters took their ageing mum to The Real Hope Foundation in Kawangware, Nairobi, to source a pair of specs, little did they know that they also needed help with their own eyesight. All four received Specs for Africa glasses and can now see more clearly. The lives of a whole family transformed.”
