Each year New Eyes for the Needy provides recycled eyeglasses to several hundred thousand people in developing nations. Generous individuals, civic clubs, and opticians across the United States send eyeglasses to New Eyes for the Needy in Short Hills, New Jersey, where the glasses are sorted by volunteers and repackaged for distribution by missionaries and international charitable organizations for distribution overseas.
|
These glasses are given free of charge to the poor and under-privileged in dozens of countries.
The cost of eyeglasses in many developing nations is equivalent to a year's salary. Without assistance from New Eyes, hundreds of thousands of people would go without the glasses they need to work, read, or attend school.
|
New Eyes often provides the only pair of eyeglasses a person will ever own.
