LIONS RECYCLE FOR SIGHT

There is a great need for recycled glasses throughout the world, especially in the developing world.
Lions Clubs work in partnership with other organisations such as The World Health Organisation (WHO), they estimate that the eyesight of 25% of the worlds population could be improved with corrective lenses, unfortunately for many people in some of the poorest countries a pair of glasses is either too expensive or inaccessible.

1 child in 4 can not see well enough to read without a pair of glasses
By the age of 40 - 90% of the worlds population needs a pair of glasses to read

Unfortunately in many areas of the world where poor eyesight is left uncorrected results in children being unable to learn at school and being forced out of the classrooms and adults unable to do their job being forced into unemployment

With your help their lives could be improved with a simple pair of your unwanted glasses.
By donating your unwanted glasses you will help to make eye care possible for those who might otherwise not receive the help they need to make a better life for themselves

Dudley Lions Club regularly collect unwanted glasses and send them to our recycling centre. So next time when you are collecting your new pair of glasses please donate your old ones so someone in the world can have a clear vision

If you have any unwanted glasses please contact Dudley Lions Club, we will then liaise with you how the glasses can be collected or dropped off
