Poverty and the lack of skilled opticians affect millions of people who do not have the spectacles they desperately need. You can help change their lives. For those in the developing world with poor vision, education and employment are out of reach. Many find daily living difficult and dangerous. With the correct spectacles, people can learn, work and achieve a quality of life otherwise completely unobtainable.

If you have any spectacles which you no longer use, you can send or take them to the local collection point: Christie’s 17 Place du Marché 86160 GENCAY
