LIONS INTERNATIONAL NEWS
FROM LCIF CHAIRPERSON Dear Lion, Earlier this month I was in Bangkok, Thailand, to celebrate 10 years of Sight for Kids, one of our most successful
partnerships. While celebrating our accomplishments, such as the vision screening of more than 16 million children, I was also struck by the fact that many people are still needlessly blind or visually impaired. Did you know that 80 percent of visual impairment in the world can be avoided or cured? That is why our Foundation provides support for preventing avoidable blindness and restoring sight to those in need.
Celebrate 10 Years of Sight for Kids LCIF and Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (JJVC) are celebrating 10 years of partnership and the vision screening of over 16 million children through their Sight for Kids program. LCIF and JJVC created Sight for Kids to address the high incidence of childhood visual impairment in Asia. Led by Lions, JJVC employees and local partners,
Sight for Kids trains volunteers to conduct school-based vision screenings and eye health education in underserved communities. When needed, students are referred to a local eye care professional and receive an eye exam, eyeglasses and further care at no cost. Since the program began, Johnson & Johnson has committed US$2 million to fund Sight for Kids vision screenings. Visit the LCIF Sight for Kids page to learn more.
