Seeing Is Believing - Rwanda

Vision is often considered the most solvable health problem in the world. Globally, 1 in 7 people who cannot see well don’t have access to vision care. But the barriers to getting glasses are a lot more complex than meets the eye. One group is creating a world where access to vision is no longer a barrier to human achievement and possibility. Come with us to Rwanda as we talk to a visionary who’s seeing his patients thrive post-genocide.
