Thousands of children and adults in poorer countries have no access to ophthalmologic care and basic corrective lenses.
Visual impairments severely limit their quality of life.

The aid organization “BRILLEN OHNE GRENZEN” collects used glasses (reading glasses, children’s glasses & sunglasses with and without prescription) and has already supported many organizations and campaigns, including e.g:

  • Kisoboka e.V. distributes 160 pairs of donated glasses in Uganda
  • Muona Eye Health Services (MUEHS) in MALAWI
  • Mabale Clinic – SIMBABWE
  • Perspectives for BENIN e.V.
  • and much more.

The BBM team also collected used glasses in the pre-Christmas period and handed them in to the partner optician of “Glasses without Borders”, Augenoptik Bussemass in Gütersloh. Mrs. Bussemass was very happy about the large donation!
