Bella Mnisi's wages go to funding the first school in her neighborhood

With an innate talent for business, Bella Mnisi was excited by the VisionSpring model from the moment she heard it was coming to South Africa. A seasoned entrepreneur with Women’s Development Businesses, she came to her first training with written projections of how many glasses she could sell in her first month and maps of the best neighborhoods to visit.

As she talked about the income she would make providing vision care, it became clear that Bella's passion for business is fueled by her dreams of uplifting her community. Along with providing a better future for her own children, she wanted to use her earnings to provide educational opportunities for the children in her community.

Thanks to her business acumen and VisionSpring’s easy to use model, Bella has now earned enough money to support the first school in her neighborhood.
