Eye Glass Distribution
The Royal Commonwealth Society Sri Lanka facilitated the shipment of around 6000 refurbished eyeglasses from Canada to Sri Lanka and distributed them to people in need at a local monastery. The eyeglasses were provided by Lions International in Canada, with the University of Manchester also supporting the project.
This powerful action is a strong example of former Commonwealth countries uniting to #Act4SDGs, as the organizations involved addressed SDG 10 on Reduced Inequalities and SDG 17 on Partnerships for the Goals.
