Small Gifts. Big Changes .
What we do
The Offor Mercy Fund was created with a very simple mission in mind: to provide basic tools to vision impaired children in Nigeria—books in braille, walking canes, magnifying glasses, et cetera. These things are taken for granted in wealthy, Western countries because they are readily available at the click of a button. This is not the case in developing countries, yet these simple items can simply change the trajectory of a child’s life by giving them mobility access to education. Scroll to learn more.
Materials for Learning and Living
Very often, children and young adults in Nigeria who have vision impairments are marginalized. Many times, this is simply because of a lack of tools and materials necessary to give these promising students access to learning and the ability to get around their homes and neighborhoods. We provide simple tools that can have a life-changing impact, not only for the vision-impaired child, but also for their families, schools, and communities.
