At first glance
At first glance, you might think that the inhabitants of Okakara generally have good eyesight, as there are practically no spectacle wearers to be seen. However, this impression is deceptive.
The reason why so few people wear glasses is that the state healthcare system, which provides Namibian citizens with care, does not issue glasses and most people do not have enough money to buy glasses from an optician themselves.
Relaxed reading
Some of our colleagues at steps also urgently need glasses to be able to read in a relaxed manner. One gets a headache from reading, another has red, burning eyes and yet another complains about both. The employees not only have to read a lot at work, but also as part of their training courses in order to successfully complete them.
At all steps locations
Our colleagues at other locations also need glasses. We will finance an examination and, if necessary, glasses for them.
Helping out
Help us to finance the glasses our employees need to improve their health and well-being and make it easier and safer for them to learn.
We need at least 20 pairs of glasses for our teachers at various steps project locations in Namibia.
