“Eye Thrive works to ensure that no child in our community fails to thrive simply because his or her family cannot afford glasses.”
Since 2013 we have provided:
80% of children's learning is visual.
When kids can't see, they can't learn.
85% of the students we help improve their academics, class participation and self-esteem.
With your support, we can clear the blur between the back row and the whiteboard.
100% Promise
We visit 200+ schools to improve the vision of 3,000+ children every year. 1/3 of our funding to make this happen comes from people just like you.
100% of online donations go directly to providing exams and glasses for children in the St. Louis area.
