OUR MISSION

NWLERC is dedicated to improving the lives of those in need by partnering with international mission providers who help to provide access to the eyeglasses we procure. Our mission is to raise awareness, collect donations, and provide resources to help individuals see clearly. Through our website, we aim to engage with Lions Club Members and Non-Profit Partners to make a positive impact on the lives of those who require visual assistance.

PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES

Our programs and initiatives are designed to address the vision needs of underserved communities. We are committed to implementing projects that promote vision health and provide access to eyeglasses for those who cannot afford them. Our team works tirelessly to support these communities and make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Eyeglass Collection

We actively collect eyeglass donations from generous individuals and organizations to redistribute them to those in need. Through this initiative, we strive to bridge the gap in access to vision correction and improve the quality of life for many individuals.

Community Engagement

Engaging with communities is essential to our mission. We work closely with our Lions Clubs, local leaders and organizations to understand the specific visual needs of different regions and tailor our initiatives to have the greatest positive impact.

Resource Distribution

Efficient distribution of eyeglasses and vision care resources is crucial to our mission. We ensure that the eyeglasses collected reach the individuals who need them the most, fostering a supportive and sustainable eyeglass recycling system.

Awareness Campaigns

Raising awareness about the importance of vision health and the impact of eyeglass donations is a core part of our efforts. We collaborate with local and international partners to educate the public and encourage support for our cause.

Partnership Programs

We establish partnerships with local and international Humanitarian Mission organizations, including eye care professionals, to expand our reach and enhance the effectiveness of our programs. Together, we strive to bring clear vision to those who lack access to eyeglasses.

Advocacy & Policy

Advocating for policies that support vision health and access to eyeglasses is an integral part of our work. We engage with policymakers and advocate for initiatives that prioritize vision care and enable more individuals to benefit from eyeglass donations.
