How can school’s support Glasses for Classes?

This year we’re looking to partner UK schools with our Glasses for Classes schools in Uganda. Our Glasses for Classes program delivers free eye tests and glasses to children with the poorest eyesight in areas where there is little or no eye care, helping them stay in school, engage in learning, and fulfil their potential.

We’re now have an exciting opportunity to partner schools in the UK with our schools in Uganda to help fund more eye tests and glasses.

How your school can get involved. 

We’re inviting schools to take part in a fun activity to decorate a pair of glasses as creatively as possible for a donation of £2.  The donations will be allocated to a specific school in Uganda so we can share updates on the eye tests and pairs of glasses delivered that have been funded. Everything You Need for Your Glasses for Classes lesson.

We’ve made it easy for schools to host their own Glasses for Classes lesson with our downloadable and printable resources. These include:

• A resource page explaining the importance of glasses for children’s education and well-being.
• A power-point presentation.
• A page of glasses templates for children to cut out and decorate, so they can get involved in the fun!
• A letter to parents outlining the activity and what the donation will fund.
• A certificate for each child who takes part, acknowledging their creativity and contribution to providing children with glasses
