Every Dollar Counts

VisionSpring's pioneering model is built on efficiency.

Our "Business in a Bag" a simple micro-franchise kit we provide to local organizations, enabling them to create powerful job opportunities for women while providing affordable eye care to impoverished communities for the first time.

Through our partners, we keep our budget lean while quickly extending our reach. With ten partners across four continents, VisionSpring's model is a proven, evidence-based approach to reaching global scale. We can launch a sustainable vision program in a new region in just one year, so that every dollar invested spurs real economic growth for those who need it most.

VisionSpring's ground-breaking model was highlighted at the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative in a session entitled "Economic Empowerment and Cross-Cutting Approaches." After pledging to increase its economic and social impact ten-fold in three years, VisionSpring did it in two.

In 2009 VisionSpring leveraged a $1.7 million budget into
