A brighter & clearer future for Marawi

Marawi 2020 is an advocacy campaign launched recently by Essilor Vision Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Essilor, in partnership with the Integrated Philippine Association of Optometrists (IPAO).

During the campaign’s press launch, Essilor Philippines general manager Dr. Emelita Roleda said, “The campaign aims to bring vision care to Marawi City and to give its people hope for a brighter, clearer tomorrow.”

The company is set to conduct free eye checkups and give away 20,000 eyeglasses to the people of Marawi. This program is expected to reach its goals by the year 2020.
