EinDollarBrille (OneDollarGlasses), a german charity works in this area, although they are pretty small.

IIRC, they also teach locals to build parts of these glasses themselves, making the production cheaper.

I don’t think there’s an “endgame” for EA—suffering will always be around, so there’s never really a point where we can say, “We’ve done enough". The ongoing challenge gives me purpose. Without suffering, there’s no meaning—like how there’s no hero without a villain.

But rather than seeing that as a never-ending grind, maybe it’s more like being on a path with ourselves, our actions, and the people we meet. If you can enjoy the roses along the way, drink a fine wine with your loved ones, and rest on a quaint bench to take a breather, isn’t it kind of nice to keep walking?
