📌 Overview
The Optometry Student Fundraiser supports aspiring eye-care professionals at UKZN. These students are passionate about restoring sight and improving quality of life in under-resourced communities. Your support keeps them in class and on track to qualify.
🎯 Project Goal
Our long-term vision is to build the bursary fund dedicated to supporting financially struggling students in the Discipline of Optometry each year.
💡 Why Your Support Matters
Vision is life-changing — and so is access to education. Your contribution can help a future optometrist cross the finish line and begin serving communities where eye-care is desperately needed. Every student you help is one more professional ready to give others the gift of sight.
🎁 How You Can Help
You can support in the following ways:
- Make a once-off donation toward tuition debt
- Commit to a monthly donation that supports one student per year
- Sponsor a final-year student’s registration
- Leave a legacy gift to build a lasting Optometry Bursary Fund
All contributions are tax-deductible under Section 18A.
