GoodVision in Peru - Create new perspectives!

GoodVision in Peru
EinDollarBrille has been active in the Andean country since 2019 under the name Lentes al Instante (Peru). The team now reaches all regions of the country and, with its all-female production team, ensures the supply of frames itself.

Good vision for everyone
Good vision for everyone in Peru is the major goal that LAI (Peru) has in mind when the team of over 20 people packs the equipment into the minibuses. The often arduous journeys take the team not only to the favela-like outskirts of the capital Lima, but also to the old Inca capital of Cusco, the neighboring Sacred Valley and Lake Titicaca in the very south of the country.

Only women in eyewear production
An important milestone is the country's own eyewear production workshop, which started work in April 2022. This is a major advantage, as it means that supplies are guaranteed at all times without the need to order from neighboring Bolivia. The instant glasses, as the Spanish name Lentes al Instante translates, therefore live up to their name. And there is another special feature: Alejandra Portillo, the program manager of LAI (Peru) at the time, made a point of ensuring that the production team consisted exclusively of women.

All of our female eyewear producers have touching life stories. This includes Raquel from Peru, who used to peel garlic to feed herself and her children. Find out more about Raquel here.
