more info

Alaffia Sustainable Skin Care is collecting used eyeglasses to distribute to needy individuals in Togo, West Africa.

The Situation
The World Health Organization estimates the use of corrective lenses could improve the eyesight of one-fourth of the world's population. There are very few optometrists in Togo. An eye exam costs as much as one month’s wages and a pair of glasses can cost up to four months income.

The Facts
Over 1 billion people in developing countries need eyeglasses but cannot afford them. Over 4 million pairs of eyeglasses are thrown away each year in North America. 25% of the global population needs glasses. 50% of children in institutions for the blind in Africa would be able to read if they had eyeglasses. Give them Sight!

You can help!
Simply drop your old eyeglasses in one of the boxes located throughout our store or mail them to:
Alaffia Sustainable Skin Care

Olympia, WA 98508
