Host Organization: 1125@Carleton
'You See Clear is a globally focused social enterprise that seeks to restore life-changing eyesight to those in need through the provision of affordable eyewear.'
Please join us to hear more about You See Clear-a social enterprise co-founded by third-year Biology student, Babur Jahid. You See Clear aims to provide affordable vision care to developing countries and communities, starting with the official launch in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2017.
The enterprise was developed as part of the Born Social Fellowship Program, and has since won the People's Choice Award from the British Council and Trico Foundation as part of their Students for Social Impact Program, and won the Resolution Project's Social Venture Challenge at the One Young World Summit in Ottawa.
