Lions Recycle for Sight Programme

The Lions are one of the world's best known community organisations and the Recycle for Sight programme is one of their most important inititatives. Eye glasses are collected, repaired and cleaned, and then sent to communities in the developing world where they are distributed to people who otherwise would have no access to them. A simple pair of eye glasses can literally have a life changing effect for the recipient.   

Mareena Purslowe & Associates assists this programme through the placement and promotion of eye glasses collection boxes in our funeral homes and around our communities.

Together with the help of the community, Mareena Purslowe & Associate has sent thousands of eye glasses to the Lions for distribution to communities currently without access to the medical services or the funds required to address vision impairment.
