WORLD CHILDREN'S DAY 2023

On World Children’s Day 2023, Spectrum Markets announced a new three-month project, made possible by our charity partner, Sightsavers.

This initiative, conceived by Spectrum Markets, will run from November 2023 until February 2024 and will provide skills training to 15 girls and four teachers in North West Nigeria.

Lagos State Universal Education Board and the Industrial Training Fund, both of which are existing partners of Sightsavers, will be involved in this programme which focuses on girls with disabilities with the aim of empowering the girls, positioning them for a future of self-sufficiency.

WORLD SIGHT DAY 2023

Through our partnership with Sightsavers we're helping to protect sight and fight for disability rights. For World Sight Day, we made this Eye Creation to raise awareness of their incredible work.

VISION, OPPORTUNITY AND PARTICIPATION

The work of our charity partner Sightsavers is a perfect example of this in action.
