Free glasses & walking sticks for older people
Independence is important at all ages. Our free prescription glasses, adjustable walking sticks and hearing aids are helping to restore independence and confidence to older people worldwide.
Losing your sight or ability to walk can mean losing your independence. But something as simple as a pair of glasses can change an older person's life.
We give out independent living aids to people who need them but can't afford them.
