Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community Clinics, Health, Health Care
Mission: GoodVision’s mission is the correction of visual defects through the establishment of sustainable basic optical care programs in impoverished countries where access to eyeglasses is limited. GoodVision USA was established to bring vision care and affordable glasses to people in the West African nation of Liberia who do not have access to proper eye care or cannot afford glasses. Those with uncorrected vision are often unable to work or study, perpetuating poverty for families and individuals. Vision correction empowers people to succeed in school and in the workplace. Our work improves access to vision care by addressing the lack of trained optical specialists and the high market prices for eyewear. In doing so, we create good local jobs for GoodVision Technicians.
