Every day, Foundation teams around the world work with incredible community partners to make sure care is delivered to those who need it most. One of those partners in South Australia is the Hutt Street Centre, where people experiencing homelessness can access meals, showers, lockers, and more than 20 visiting health and support services to help them rebuild their lives.

For the past 13 years, we’ve been visiting Hutt Street Centre on a regular basis thanks to Foundation volunteer and iChampion Marty Holmes, who established the relationship with HSC and has been coordinating an annual clinics there ever since. Marty has been an employee for 42 years and has inspired countless OPSM and EssilorLuxottica employees to donate their time and expertise to ensure vision care is available to all.

A big thank you to all partners, volunteers, and supporters who make activities like this possible!

| Malawi, The Gambia and Zambia Launch the WHO SPECS 2030 Initiative |

Over the past few months, we worked with WHO and governments to bring together key partners and local stakeholders in Malawi, The Gambia, and Zambia to officially launch the WHO SPECS 2030 Initiative through national introductory workshops, aligning around a shared ambition to tackle uncorrected refractive error as a public health priority.

Why does this matter?

Because something as simple as a pair of glasses can shape whether someone stays in school, keeps a job, or lives independently, yet access remains out of reach for millions.

Alongside policy alignment, discussions focused on identifying key priorities and shaping country-specific plans across the five SPECS pillars, with an emphasis on services, workforce capacity, education, affordability, and data to embed effective vision care into routine health services.

We look forward to building on these workshops and continuing to work closely with governments and partners as national plans take shape in the next phase of delivery.
