Alonso Group donates more than a hundred glasses to the NGO Visió Sense Fronteres through Aportem

  • April 4, 2019
Thanks to the collaboration of all the workers of Alonso Group, it has been possible to gather more than a hundred glasses that will be destined to people with needs in developing countries. The campaign began last February 5 under the slogan “For more people to see as you see”
Solidarity campaign to collect eyeglasses has been a success

Alonso Group, within its area of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has delivered to the association Aportem a total of 134 glasses for the NGO Visió Sense Fronteres. Under the slogan “For more people to see as you see”, the company has joined this solidarity initiative, which began last February 5, led by Aportem.

In each work center of Alonso Group, each one of the glasses was collected until this very relevant figure was achieved. In order to achieve this, the involvement of all the group’s workers has been essential, and they have turned this proposal into a success.

Lenses of all types and sizes have been brought together: prescription, folding or sunglasses without a case that will be aimed at the people who need it most in developing countries. Once the campaign is over, the lenses will be checked to see their condition and prescription. Subsequently, they will be given to people who have difficulty accessing these types of objects due to their economic situation and who, on the other hand, are an essential element for visual health.
