Better Vision For Deprived Communities is a project initiated by @nattybongo and friends to give back to the society the knowledge and skill acquired through the Optometric Studies in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. They are improving vision for people in deprived communities.
Young people should be healthy, right?
Children are our future, we all know that. How would that future look like if it is unable to see? The larger proportion of individuals with vision problems are living in deprived communities. They have little or no access to adequate general and visual healthcare but @bettervision is here to change that.
Better Vision for Deprived Communities is a project that is organizing visits to the less privileged communities and offering free eye screening services and education to the people within the community. It is also providing spectacles to those that require them but are incapable of acquiring them due to financial constraints.
Help them to help those in need.
This project will help reduce or prevent vision loss from glaucoma, cataract, and refractive errors. Through lectures and presentations, it will enlighten and educate Ghanaian population about the importance of proper vision care and teach them how regular eye checks are important.
Ages 3 to 10 are the most important
Critical period of a Child’s Vision Development is between ages 3 and 10. It is in that age that regular checks are the most important to prevent further damage and vision loss. The more children have their wards screened within that time, the better.

They are ending stigmatization
It is important to help the blind and people with low vision live a better life within the society and stop stigmatization. This project is working on educating the general public to better understand all the difficulties that people with those problems are facing. With that, a more dignified life can be made possible.
This projects already has over 1700 Backers on Fundition and we do hope that this post will help it achieve even more. The team behind the project is constantly bringing us news and updates. Check out their steemit profile @bettervision and read up about all their recent activity.

The project needs your support for education, medical treatments and to buy devices that would help them. One of those devices is a retinoscope. It is important because it helps in diagnosing kids and people with disabilities that have troubles communicating because retinoscope gives the error margin of eyes without any feedback from the patient. Open your hearts and open your wallets, Ghana people will appreciate it.
There are charity projects that we love and support but we do not think this one is one of them. This project is so much more. It goes beyond charity and deals with education and helping the youth.
Help children grow up into
healthy and educated adults.
Children all over the world deserve to grow up into healthy, educated, and successful adults. In order for them to be able to do that, education is a must. Without education, they are deprived of millions of possibilities and information that could help them achieve those possibilities. Imagine how hard education is if your vision is bad. You are sick and can not receive help. How would you read if you couldn't see the letters written? Every child in this world deserves our help on its life journey and that help includes medicine when needed, doctors when they are needed and love always. This project provides all those 3 things and we are very much proud to support it.
