Vision Mission 2026

WHAT IF A CHILD IS STRUGGLING IN SCHOOL SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY CAN’T SEE CLEARLY?

For more than a decade, the Issa Trust Foundation, in partnership with the Lions of Michigan, has brought critical vision care to communities across Jamaica. Together, we have screened more than 10,000 children and provided prescription glasses to thousands who needed them.

This September, our Vision Mission 2026 continues that commitment.

A team of 22 dedicated volunteers, including optometrists, an optician, a medical doctor, and trained technicians, will provide comprehensive eye examinations, identify vision concerns, and fit individuals for prescription glasses when needed.

This year, we are also expanding our services to include diabetic retinopathy screening, helping identify potentially serious eye disease before vision is permanently affected.

We anticipate providing vision services to approximately 2,000 individuals, including children and employees of Couples Resorts as well as students at Savanna-la-Mar Inclusive Academy.

Help Us Build a Better Tomorrow for the Children of Jamaica

Far too many families in Jamaica still face challenges accessing specialized pediatric care outside of Kingston. This center represents hope, access, and a healthier future for thousands of children and adolescents across the island.

Together, donors, partners, volunteers, healthcare professionals, and supporters can help bring this vision to life. Every contribution helps move us one step closer to opening the doors and creating lasting impact for Jamaica’s children. Because every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy, hopeful, and cared for.
