Meet Sokunvortey from Cambodia.

For years, she struggled in silence—unable to read the whiteboard or recognize her friends from a distance. At just 12, she realized her vision was blurry but didn’t want to burden her hardworking parents.

Thanks to a school eye health program funded by Optometry Giving Sight, Sokunvortey finally received an eye exam and the glasses she needed.

✨ Today, she can see clearly, study with confidence, and even encourages her classmates to get their eyes tested:
"Having good vision is the best!"

Your support makes stories like Sokunvortey’s possible.

Did you know? 80% of what a child learns is vision-based.

From reading the board to recognizing words and exploring the world around them, clear vision is essential for learning and growth. Without proper eye care, children may struggle in school — not because they can’t learn, but because they can’t see.

This World Sight Day, let’s work together to ensure that every child has the opportunity to see clearly and reach their full potential. 🌍💚

🌍 Meet Samuel from Malawi

Samuel Chagwadira had a dream: to become an optometrist and bring vision care to his community.

In 2012, he became one of Malawi’s first-ever optometrists, graduating from the newly established Malawi School of Optometry at Mzuzu University—supported by Optometry Giving Sight.

✨ Despite limited resources in the early days, Samuel pushed forward. Today, he’s not only serving his community but also pursuing higher education with hopes of earning his PhD and expanding eye care across Africa.

“This program is a beautiful thing,” Samuel says. “To be part of the first group of graduate optometrists in Malawi feels great. It is history in the making; we’ve written history!”

💚 Samuel’s story shows how supporting education in eye care creates lasting change—for individuals, communities, and entire nations.

👉 Together, we can continue building a future where everyone has access to the vision care they deserve. Join the cause by donating at bit.ly/wsdc25-elevate.
