VisionSpring - Global Associate Director/ Snr Manager Total Rewards

About VisionSpring

VisionSpring is a trailblazing international social enterprise that increases lifelong earning, learning, safety and well-being through eyeglasses for people vulnerable to poverty. We envision a world where everyone who needs eyeglasses will have them by 2050. https://www.visionspring.org

Eyeglasses are a low-cost, high-impact and scalable solution that helps people maintain their livelihoods, succeed in school, stay safe on the roads and participate fully in society. Yet 1.1 billion people lack the eyeglasses they need.

Through VisionSpring's social enterprise models, a $1 investment in eyeglasses yields $43 in increased income for people living on less than $4 per day. Our work also improves children's learning, reduces road traffic injuries, and promotes independence and well-being among aging adults.

With operations across nine countries in Africa and South Asia, VisionSpring combines market-based solutions with multi-sector partnerships to ensure lasting, large-scale access to eyeglasses so people can see well and do well.

Our Approach

We get corrective eyeglasses on faces, help others do the same and work in coalition to close the vision gap within a generation through three interlocking strategies:

• Deliver - Bring vision screening and eyeglasses directly into low-income communities where people work, learn and live.
• Catalyze - Equip NGOs, governments and community providers with training, products and delivery models to expand coverage.
• Influence - Use research, advocacy and coalition-building to shift policy, mobilise resources and embed vision correction into public health and economic agendas.
