Project Light

We are one of ten finalists in the Creativity category of the #FCWorldChangingIdeas Awards, that honor "innovative solutions to issues facing humanity". 2019 was the most competitive year for the awards, with nearly 2000 entries. ==> projectlight.world

@_ProjectLight is a global art campaign for the right to sight, by @fine_acts and @peekteam. 36 million people in the world are blind. Three quarters – from preventable or curable conditions. This invisible global injustice is solvable within our lifetimes.
