THEORY OF CHANGE
HOW WE CREATE SYSTEMS CHANGE.
If a child can see clearly, they can learn confidently.
If we build the system, the impact lasts for generations.
SYSTEMS CHANGE STRATEGY
LEVERAGE POINTS WE ACTIVATE.
01
ACCESS
We provide free or affordable exams + glasses through mobile clinics and school partnerships — so vision care becomes routine.
02
EDUCATION
We run bilingual awareness campaigns that connect clear vision to learning, confidence, and opportunity.
03
PARTNERSHIPS
We collaborate across schools, optometrists, city health departments, and eyewear brands to sustain equity and reach.
04
POLICY
We advocate for annual school-based screening and sustainable public funding for children's eye health.
05
DATA & STORYTELLING
We measure academic and behavioral outcomes post-intervention — so evidence drives adoption, funding, and replication.
