The SKYGEN International Foundation's Vision Program: "Creating Brighter Futures"

Since July 2018, the SKYGEN International Foundation (headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin) has been working in some of the poorest areas of Tanzania, Africa, providing free vision testing to over 154,000 people (many of whom had suffered with poor vision for their entire lives) and distributing more than 29,000 pairs of corrective eyeglasses.  We’ve arranged screenings at over 215 schools and 122 community clinics.  With prescription eyeglasses and the ability to see clearly, the lives of adults and children can be transformed. The fact is, a pair of custom glasses has the power to change a life and make every day richer.
