Peru: Bringing clear vision
Providing accessible eye care and empowering single mothers
Since 2023, we joined an initiative called ‘Lentes Al Instante’ (Instant Glasses) to provide optical care in low-income neighbourhood of Lima. Together with our partner, we address the barriers of limited access and high costs associated with eye care by conducting mobile campaigns that offer sight tests and immediate delivery of glasses.
During the various campaign days, participants also engage in awareness activities highlighting the significance of maintaining good eye health.
Moreover, our initiative also creates meaningful employment opportunities for single mothers who manufacture the donated glasses.
Campaign days have been held in various community settings, including schools, health centers, and public spaces. Givaudan volunteers are actively taking part in the campaign days, assisting with registrations, helping with vision tests, and fitting glasses.
