Ver Bien Para Aprender Mejor (See Better to Learn Better) is a programme providing free eyeglasses to children in Mexico.
Children choose and customise their glasses from options in an innovative flipbook. The colour options reflect the vibrant palettes of Mexico, and the huge range of designs reduces the social stigma that comes from a single style.
