About Us






Lens of Hope is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving access to eye care by repurposing donated glasses, sponsoring eye tests, and providing new lenses for those in need. Through partnerships and community support, we strive to create a world where clear vision is accessible to all.
Welcome to Lens of Hope
At Lens of Hope, we believe that clear vision should never be a privilege—it’s a necessity. What started as a simple idea to repurpose old glasses has grown into a movement of empowerment, giving individuals the opportunity to see the world more clearly. With the support of our community, sponsors, and volunteers, we are making vision care accessible to those who need it most. Thank you for being part of this journey—together, we are changing lives, one pair of glasses at a time.

Our key objectives
Millions of South Africans suffer from vision problems that impact their daily lives, education, and employment
opportunities. Despite the critical importance of eye care, many individuals lack the financial means to afford eye
tests and glasses. Our NGO aims to address this pressing
issue by mobilising resources, creating partnerships, and
building a sustainable model to deliver eye care services to
those in need.

Collection of Donated Eyeglasses
Establishing a network of collection points in schools, offices, community centres, and other accessible locations to gather donated eyeglasses.

Subsidised or free Eye Tests
Forming partnerships with optometrists and eye hospitals to provide free or heavily subsidised eye tests for individuals in underserved communities.

Affordable or free Lenses
Working with sponsors so that beneficiaries can receive lenses for free or at reduced rates depending on affordability.

Community Outreach and Awareness
Conducting awareness campaigns to educate communities about the importance of regular eye tests and available resources through the NGO.
