We’ve just returned from Fiji, where our incredible volunteer team dispensed 987 pairs of prescription glasses in just 5 days.
For many of the people we met, a simple pair of glasses meant so much more than clearer vision. It meant being able to read, learn, work, care for family and carry out everyday tasks with greater independence. But our work doesn’t stop there.
Our next destination: Samoa
The South Pacific Eye Care Foundation (SPEC Foundation) is now preparing to take an outreach project to Samoa, and we’re looking for at least 10 businesses to join our 2026 100 Pairs in 100 Days initiative.
The concept is simple.
We will provide your business with:
100 donated, brand new spectacle frames
100 pairs of uncut, single-vision prescription lenses
All we need from you is your support in edging and fitting just one pair of spectacles each day for 100 days.
By sharing the workload across 10 (or more) participating businesses, we hope to prepare at least 1,000 pairs of prescription spectacles to take with us on our next project.
One pair a day can change someone's life

We understand how busy optical practices and laboratories can be. That’s why we’ve designed this initiative to make participation achievable.
One pair of glasses.
One day at a time.
The time and expertise you contribute can have a lasting impact on someone who may otherwise have little or no access to affordable eye care and prescription spectacles.
At the end of the 100 days, together, we will have created something incredibly powerful: 1,000+ pairs of glasses ready to help people in need see more clearly.
Will your business be one of our 10?
This initiative is an opportunity for optical businesses to use their skills and expertise to make a practical and meaningful difference. Whether you're a fitting lab, optical practice with an edger or another business with the capability to edge and fit prescription spectacles, your contribution can help us bring the gift of sight to communities in Samoa.
Join us and help turn one pair of glasses a day into clearer vision and brighter opportunities for people in need. We'll even provide you with a certificate of thanks to show your customers that you care. EMAIL US TO SIGN UP OR LEARN MORE
Can't edge and fit lenses? You can still make a difference
If your business isn't able to participate in the 100 Pairs in 100 Days initiative by edging and fitting lenses, there are still other ways you can support our work. You can order a countertop donation box or table tent to display in your practice or business and help raise vital funds for the SPEC Foundation. ORDER YOURS FOR FREE HERE

Every donation, no matter the size, can help support our outreach projects and bring essential eye care and prescription spectacles to people in communities where access to these services is limited. By placing a donation box or table tent in your workplace, you can help your customers, patients and community become part of the journey too.
Together, we can help bring clearer vision to those who need it most.
