Partnering with Schools
Working with schools is simple and designed to minimise disruption to learning. Once a school expresses interest, we work together to ensure the screening day runs smoothly.

We complete a simple Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining the roles and responsibilities of both the school and the Lions Eye Health Programme.
2. Agree on a Screening Date
A mutually convenient date is selected, taking into account the school's timetable and available screening team.
