In collaboration with Orbis UK, HOYA UK aims to raise £50,000 over the next three years to establish a new Green Vision Centre in India. The center will be providing comprehensive eye health services to an estimated 100,000 children and adults through sustainable means, via the use of solar panels, software, and energy efficient appliances.
HOYA UK’s fundraising activities in 2023, which will include the London Marathon, Welsh Three Peaks and in-practice contactless donation terminals, will support the development of the Vision Centre, which will offer affordably priced care for low-income individuals, or free care for those who cannot pay.
Orbis, an international charity that works with partners across the world to train healthcare workers, raise awareness of eye health, and improve vital access to eye health services, has been working in India for over 20 years, which is home to the largest number of blind children in any one country, and to 9.3 million children with visual impairment.
