Your story is powerful.
Your story can inspire, enlighten, and inform. Whether you are a person living with avoidable sight loss, a caregiver, an advocate, a parent, an eye health practitioner, or a professional who has dedicated your career to ending avoidable sight loss, you have something special: a unique story. When you share it with others, you are sharing an invaluable perspective. That is why we are building a movement the has people at its heart. Every Story Counts is our opportunity to combine stories to form one collective and powerful voice that is impossible to ignore. By sharing a story, you’re adding your voice to a movement of people who are shaping a better future for everyone.
The Self-Portrait Project
Children can take part in Every Story Counts in their own way, by drawing. Download the Self-Portrait activity sheet, let a child complete it, then send the finished drawing back to us. Each submission joins thousands of drawings from children around the world in the Every Story Counts gallery, a celebration of the amazing things our eyes help us do every day. Every drawing tells a story. Every drawing gives a child a voice. And every story counts.
Together, we are creating a movement united by unique eye health stories. While each story is different, they are united by the importance of eye care and that everyone deserves to love their eyes and experience the value of vision. We invite you to explore these incredible stories and how, when woven together, they create a collective narrative powerful enough to drive awareness, shift perceptions and help rewrite the future of eye care.
