👀 This World Sight Day, iDE Ghana and partners are helping rural entrepreneurs see clearly — and thrive. iDE is partnering with Global Vision 2020 to bring affordable, high-quality prescription glasses to underserved communities across Ghana and beyond. 👓 Using GV2020’s innovative USee tester technology and iDE’s proven last-mile entrepreneur networks, we’re training local healthcare workers to build sustainable eye care businesses — transforming lives one pair of glasses at a time. When farmers, teachers, and small business owners can access affordable glasses, their productivity and quality of life improve. From the first screenings to a lasting vision — this is just the start of what we can do together. Stay tuned as we celebrate clearer vision and brighter futures in Ghana.

Big news from iDE Nicaragua: our plastic recycling production line is being installed at Tableco’s factory in Managua! 🚀 Why this matters: Together with Tableco—leaders in recycled plastic products—we’re transforming discarded plastics into durable irrigation tubing for farmers. Tableco brings 8+ years of recycling experience, two extruders, and a steady supply of raw plastic waste from schools, banks, and refineries. With this partnership, we’re on track to recycle 73 tons of plastic in the first year alone, while giving farmers affordable access to climate-smart irrigation. In just a few weeks, the first tubing will roll off the line. Stay tuned for updates from the ground! #Recycling #ClimateSmartAg #CircularEconomy #iDE (fb)
