Our Impact
Our impact
Exact numbers, not marketing round-ups
distributed in the West Bank (Palestine), every donation documented
pairs of glasses made during the Tangier pilot mission
pairs of winter shoes ready for the school year
countries of action today — Palestine (West Bank) and Morocco
Impact in pictures
Behind every pair, a life made brighter.
The film of the first Tangier mission records 60 people fitted with glasses in three days. Recovered lenses, frames adapted on site and individual records: a concrete result for each beneficiary.
The written report also states ≈ 100 pairs made: production and people fitted are distinct indicators.

The social value of vision
See better. Learn. Work. Move forward.
A pair of glasses can do more than improve sight: support a child’s schooling, an adult’s work and independence over the years.
Learn
See the board and read more easily to participate in learning.
Work
Make everyday work tasks easier and support continued activity.
Contribute
Support independence and participation in economic and social life.
Understand the estimate and references
VisionSpring estimates that its customers can earn USD 216 in additional income over the two-year average expected lifespan of their glasses. This estimate assumes an initial average income of USD 2 per day.
This benchmark illustrates the economic potential of vision correction. Its applicability depends on the population, context and length of glasses use; it is not a measured outcome of the Maddad programme.
WHO and IAPB also document links between vision, learning, employment and productivity.
