For several months now, Yolande has been offering her professional optician services to DoucheFLUX on a voluntary basis. Convinced that being able to see well is a basic right, she comes once a month to carry out free eye exams and provide second-hand glasses, fitted with new corrective lenses, to those who need them. Beneficiaries pay a contribution of €1.
You can be part of the project too by giving a second life to glasses frames you no longer use. These frames are then recycled either to be given to beneficiaries who need them, or to be sold in stores at a price of €10. The latter helps finance the cost of the new lenses that go into the glasses we provide.
Needless to say, this service is a huge success!
