Global Expansion

Since its inception in 2001, Scojo Foundation has rapidly grown from a visionary idea to successful programs around the world.

Our innovative, scalable model, along with our dedication and drive, continues to propel us to reach our target market of 700 million people in need of affordable reading glasses.

With the help of our visionary supporters and dedicated partners, Scojo Foundation will distribute 1 million pairs of reading glasses and train thousands of rural entrepreneurs to start their own Scojo microfranchises in the next five years.

Pan-African Distribution

Scojo Foundation and Population Services International (PSI) signed a five-year pan-Africa agreement in early 2007 to make reading glasses available to the millions of Africans who lack this simple, essential health product. PSI will strategically integrate ready-made reading glasses into their current African footprint of virtually all sub-Saharan African countries, promoting them through its world-class social marketing efforts in urban pharmacies. The first countries to implement this project are Zambia, Ethiopia, and Kenya.
