Message from our founder

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.
