Meet Favor Delphine Titus

Favor sat in the front row of her first-grade classroom in Monrovia, Liberia, squinting at the chalkboard. The letters were just blurry shapes. While her classmates copied their lessons, 6-year-old Favor fell further behind each day.
Her teacher noticed. Her mother noticed. And most painfully, Favor noticed.

In Liberia, where fewer than 50 eye care professionals serve 5 million people, children like Favor often simply learn to live in a blurred world. When families earn just a few dollars a day, eyeglasses, which can cost a month’s wages at traditional shops, aren’t an option. The result? Children lose 2-4 months of learning every year due to uncorrected vision. Many drop out entirely.

But Favor’s mother had heard about GoodVision’s clinic at St. Joseph’s Catholic Hospital. There, trained local technicians provide professional eye exams and affordable glasses, all without requiring electricity, making care accessible even in Liberia’s most remote areas.

At the clinic, GoodVision Technicians carefully tested Favor’s vision. Within an hour, she was fitted with her first pair of glasses, durable spring steel frames with high-quality lenses.
The transformation was instantaneous. Favor’s eyes widened as the blurry world suddenly snapped into focus. She could read the letters on the eye chart. She could see her mother’s face clearly. The smile that spread across her face told the whole story.

The cost? About $5, roughly two days of local wages. The actual materials cost less than $1. GoodVision’s model of local production keeps prices low while creating sustainable jobs.

Back in her classroom, Favor can now see the board, copy her lessons, and participate fully. Her confidence has soared. What seemed like a learning disability was simply an untreated vision problem, one that cost just $5 to solve.
Since 2019, GoodVision has helped thousands of Liberian children like Favor. Each pair of glasses represents not just improved vision, but transformed opportunity.
For one bright 6-year-old girl and her family, it’s everything.
