To date, White and Global Vision 2020 have worked with 45 different organizations in 50 countries, supplying 60,000 pairs of eyeglasses to many who have never had a pair. Eyeglasses have been delivered to students, the elderly in rural villages, men who drive and women who sew for a living — all of whom were struggling to thrive because their eyesight was deteriorating.
As this year comes to an end, there is the promise of a new, more expansive venture that will provide clear vision to many more people. Global Vision 2020 is working with a global corporate social responsibility partner to provide eye screenings using the USee Vision Kit to every high school student in the South American country of Guyana. Students needing prescription eyeglasses will be provided a new pair of Global Vision 2020’s easily assembled glasses. With one project, the lives of tens of thousands of people will be changed.
Kevin White’s desire to eradicate poor vision around the world moved him into action. Quietly, without ostentatious gimmicks, only clinically verifiable, life-changing results, his system is transforming the lives of men and women, young and old, one pair of glasses at a time.
