Glasses & walking sticks
Independence is important at all ages. Our free prescription glasses, adjustable walking sticks and hearing aids are helping to restore independence and confidence to older people worldwide.
Losing your sight or ability to walk can mean losing your independence. But something as simple as a pair of glasses can change an older person's life.
What we do
We give out mobility aids to people who need them but can't afford them.

- height-adjustable metal walking sticks

'Now I can hear my granddaughter's cry' says Thar Sae, a 67-year-old farmer in Myanmar who received a hearing aid from us.
