Our Mission

Every Child Deserves the Tools to Learn

"Things laying around as 'spare' or 'old' can make a world of difference in someone else's life."

Vision for All began with a simple observation during a 2024 teaching visit to Sharp Memorial School for the Blind in Rajpur, India: students lacked basic school supplies that most of us take for granted.

What started as one teenager's mission has grown into a community effort—collecting backpacks, school supplies, and educational materials from Long Island families and transporting them thousands of miles to students who need them most.

The Journey

From Classroom to Community

Every great initiative starts with a single step. Here's how Vision for All evolved from a personal experience into a growing movement.
