Robert Gent, Chair of the Ulverscroft Foundation, commented: "The Ulverscroft Foundation is keen to play its part in making high quality eye care accessible for all who need it. So we are delighted to be able to support the work of the Women-Led Green Vision Centres project in Bangladesh in preventing and treating sight loss in people in rural areas”.
The Ulverscroft Foundation was founded in 1973 by Dr Frederick Thorpe OBE, founder of the Ulverscroft Group, a global provider of reading materials for visually impaired people. Since its launch, the Ulverscroft Foundation has funded many hundreds of medical, social and library projects designed to serve the needs of visually impaired people world-wide.
