Soloptical advances with the world, views of Africa-Burkina
Soloptical we are deeply committed: we want the world to see well. In addition to our discounts for the unemployed sector, since 2007, we have collaborated with appliances, frames and some of our best eye health specialists with the NGO Miradas de África-Burkina.
Currently there are small moneyboxes so that anyone who wants, can collaborate with this cause. The money raised goes entirely to renovate the space dedicated to daily care of patients, who come to make a journey of up to 350 km from the capital.
Our "Solidary optics" is located in Burkina Faso, in a city called "Bobo-Dioulasso", located inside a public hospital.
We have: Slit lamp, autor refractometer, tonometer, test box, projector, bezel, phoropter, even a computer. In addition to frames and lenses.
Awareness campaigns
With the aim of raising awareness among the population of the need for periodic reviews, we have launched awareness campaigns in schools especially aimed at parents and teachers.
Free eyeglass campaigns for children
Soloptical wants children to take care of their eye health from an early age. For this reason, we carry out campaigns in which we give their first glasses to children from 3 to 5 years old.
