VISION SCREENING
SCREENING FOR INDIGENT CHILDREN
In partnership with medical professionals headed by a UCM member, we visit local schools to conduct free vision screenings for children from indigent families. Through this compassionate initiative, we identify students with visual impairments and provide them with prescription eyeglasses—at no cost to their families. Each pair of glasses is a gift of clarity, dignity, and opportunity, empowering children to learn, participate, and thrive.
This outreach reflects our commitment to holistic care and community upliftment, ensuring that no child is left behind due to preventable vision challenges.

CHRISTMAS-GIVING PROJECT
BLESSING PASTORS AND THE MARGINALIZED

and bringing hope where it is needed most.
