“See clearly, smile brightly.”
Tanzania primary school students were supported eye glasses
---
2Glasses were delivered to Msijute and Dihimba Primary School in Mtwara, Tanzania in August 2018 with the support of L‘Occitane. After receiving training in the eye health care, primary school teachers screened students who need glasses. Then the outreach team accompanied by the ophthalmic personnel visited the school and gave glasses to students who are eligable for receiving glasses.
Preparing to distribute glasses to individual needs
There are some important steps to get glasses. These students have never used glasses before, and neither their parents have. So They learned how to wear the glasses and how to manage them with their parents
Students are being instructed about wearing glasses and things to know
Primary school students wearing glasses for the first time
Even with the instruction, it feels awkward to wear glasses. But they weill get used to it soon..

Students are glad to receive glasses
