Development<\/strong>.\u00a0To be recognised as an NGD<\/strong>O, an NGO must be registered at the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID<\/a>), strictly complying with the established requirements. We are one of the only NGD<\/strong>Os in the world dedicated to creating official degrees, in cooperation with local administrations and universities of the countries where we intervene.<\/p>

We work to train eye care professionals in low-income countries until they become self-sufficient and no longer depend on external aids such as ours.<\/p>

We are also a member of the IAPB<\/a> (International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness), which allows us to coordinate our work with other eye health NGOs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
