We launched the first-of-its-kind Essilor Base-of-Pyramid (EBoP) Fellowship in February this year to encourage the development of young talents in the field of social impact. Over a period of six months, our first batch of EBoP fellows gained first-hand exposure and experience in inclusive business and philanthropic initiatives in BoP markets, as they led on-ground initiatives aimed at eliminating poor vision.
They are now lifelong vision ambassadors and will no doubt use the skills they have acquired from this programme to continue to impact the lives of the underserved around the world. Watch our EBoP fellows share how they’ve contributed to solving one of the world’s largest unaddressed disabilities – uncorrected poor vision.
