Project Vision Aid
The Vision of Children Foundation strives to enable children to have a clear image of the world around them.
We provide information and tools to ease the daily challenges that the visually impaired may face. Under the Project Vision Aid umbrella, the Foundation donates tools, such as handheld video magnifiers and iPads, to children who are visually challenged.
Since 2003, VOC's handheld video magnifiers have been effective in more than 120 schools and learning centers nationwide, assisting visually impaired students.
In 2017, the handheld magnifiers were replaced with iPads that we currently provide to children and families that cannot afford them.
Through Project Vision Aid and the generous contributions of donors, the Vision of Children Foundation will continue to illuminate paths to success for visually impaired students around the globe.
Through Project Vision Aid we donate iPads and video magnifiers to visually impaired children, helping them overcome obstacles in education and daily life.
In addition to advancing medical research, VOC is committed to empowering children to experience the world with greater clarity. Through its Project Vision Aid initiative, the Foundation donates essential tools like handheld video magnifiers and iPads to visually impaired children, helping them overcome obstacles in education and daily life. With the generous support of donors, the Vision of Children Foundation continues to brighten the future for visually impaired students worldwide, enabling them to reach their full potential.
What the kids are saying: Project Vision Aid Reviews
Among the many evaluations from parents of children who received the device was this note from the mother of 5-year-old Adam:
“The electronic magnifier has helped him overcome [his vision] challenges in so many ways. One of the most important benefits is that he is able to sit with his classmates rather than have to sit separately from them while he uses a large CCTV in the corner of the room. This has reduced his barriers to building friendships — one of our major hurdles right now. Thank you so much for helping our son gain access to the world around him. We are a family on a single income. It would have been a major financial challenge to us to be able to buy this magnifier on our own.” With the advancement of technology, the iPad has replaced the hand-held magnifier as an assistance device for visually impaired children. The iPad’s built-in camera allows pictures to be taken and magnified and the availability of various apps make it a valuable tool for children with visual impairments.
“Book print is so small, this makes it a lot easier for me to read, especially in Chemistry.”
“[The device is great] especially for reading books and when I look far at the white board. Also, the document projector and in unfamiliar places.”
