Allianz Ghana’s “Bright Futures: Empowering Ghana’s Youth Through Vision Care”
Unemployment in Ghana affects two out of three, particularly young female individuals. On top of a lack of sustainable employment opportunities, youngsters in Ghana are often affected by vision loss, impacting their overall life quality, but also their productivity at work or school. Vision Spring, a pioneering social enterprise with tracked experience in the field, provides free of charge eye care and glasses for young adults, particularly women, attending vocational or training schools. With Vision Camps, in Greater Accra, Eastern, Ashanti and Volta regions of Ghana, they screen the vision of around 5000 students and teachers to provide them with glasses or referrals. Allianz employees support the project as volunteers.
