HOW BVI WAS FOUNDED?

BVI was founded by Dr. Yasmin El-Rouby while on a humanitarian trip to Uganda with her dear friend Yasemin Saib, Live it Up Uganda founder and now board member of BVI. This life-changing trip is what inspired her to “share her vision” and make a change.

While conducting eye screenings on the orphans it became apparent how many of these kids live their whole lives without a proper eye test, not knowing what “seeing” really is.

The tragedy is how easy it is, and how little it costs to restore vision to people everywhere with just a little time, effort and money. And the impact of this is not just felt on an individual level but on a societal level through an increase in productivity and a decrease in the negative consequences of visual impairment such as accidents, depression and anxiety disorders that result from visual impairment and blindness.

SUPPORT VISION SCREENINGS IN THE UAE

Since 2016, BVI has been successfully conducting eye screenings for laborers in the UAE. With the continued support of ESSILOR and Maui Jim and our donors, we were able to donate hundreds of glasses and sunglasses to laborers across the UAE. If you would like to donate an old pair of glasses which can be reused and be used to help someone see please email us at info@bvintl.org

HELP BUILD AN EYE CLINIC IN EGYPT

Help us build an eye center in a rural area in Egypt. This would allow us to screen for simple easily treated eye diseases that lead to blindness, dispense glasses to treat avoidable blindness, and refer cases for cataract operations. If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause Donate Now.
