The Passaic-Clifton Lions Club is working hard to erradicate blindness and vision problems for children and adults. As part of our mission, we are trying to obtain a Vision Screener and we need your help. We are supporting a nationwide project called Lions KidSight USA.
Lions KidSight USA is a nationwide program to safeguard the vision of children aged 6 months through 6 years.
According to educational experts, 80% of learning is visual. So if a child can’t see well, he can’t learn well. Yet most young children don’t get their vision screened until they have problems learning or paying attention in school. By then, it may already be too late. Unless vision problems are detected early and corrected, they risk becoming permanent by age 7.
Lions in the USA already screen over a million kids per year through state-wide and local programs often known as “KidSight.” Lions KidSight USA is a national coalition that brings together Lions programs that screen preschool and school age kids, concentrating on children from 6 months to 6 years of age in order create a coordinated national program.
Our mission is to ensure eye screening and follow-up care is given to all kids because every child deserves to learn and see the world clearly. To do this, we will work with Lions to increase the number of screening programs around the country in order to reach more children when it is possible and where it is needed.
The monies fundraised will be used to obtain a Vision Screener to better serve our communities.
Thank you in advance for your support.
