Giving Tuesday

It’s Giving Tuesday and at Lions World Vision Institute we’d like to pause and say THANK YOU.

Because of YOU we are elevating standards in sight restoration, tissue transplantation, research, and education.

When you support to LWVI on Giving Tuesday, your monetary donation provides a major impact to people in need of life changing services across the globe.

Impact of Giving Tuesday donations:

$10 – Provides a child struggling to see with a free eye exam and free pair of prescription glasses. 25% of school-aged children have a vision problem serious enough to impact their learning.

$25 – Offers hope, strength, and connections to cornea and tissue donor families and loved ones. We provide grief resources, guidance, and ongoing support to over 7k donor family members each year.

$50 –  Provides our team with the tools needed for cornea and tissue recovery. One tissue donor can restore health to over 75 people and one cornea donor can restore sight to 2 individuals. 

$100 – Allows for advanced cornea transplant surgical training in the U.S. and around the world. Providing the gift of sight to thousands of people each year through transplant services.

Our work extends around the globe and includes donor family and recipient support, advanced tissue preparation for transplant cases, innovative research and technology development, eye bank and surgeon training programs, pediatric vision services, and community-based education in local and international communities for those who are visually impaired.

We work tirelessly to honor a donor’s gift by protecting and supporting sight restoration for hundreds of thousands of people—transforming lives around the world.
