A lack of access to visual health resources or assessment materials prevents many around the world from receiving proper, or even any, visual care. We’ve partnered with PlenOptika to help address this barrier, working to improve this access internationally.

Thanks to the innovative team at PlenOptika we can quickly measure an individuals refraction using this small handheld device called the QuickSee. It is easy to use and transport, allowing us to bring this resource to remote areas. Individuals are more knowledgeable about their own health in a matter of minutes thanks to this device.

Visit PlenOptika to learn more about this device and their work! 👓🧡

As we begin to plan for T-Up’s return to Namibia, we continue to reflect on our first trip this past spring.

Terrie remarks, “Regardless which village we visited, the kids were inquisitive. Sweet. Wanted to play. Wanted to watch, to sit on our laps, give high fives and hugs. Humanity is humanity. Love is love. Oh, and the kids have amazing vision, living barefoot and in the sunshine!”

Please consider supporting our journey back to Namibia so that we can continue supporting these communities and their children. Your generosity is greatly appreciated! 🫶👓

Team T-Up had its core, and had a person “ride-a-long” with us almost every day. These folks spoke the local language and/or dialect, and were intimately familiar to the conservancy’s land, people, and history. We could not be more grateful for their unique contributions to our mission:

Michael, the head of the Doro !Nawas Conservancy, and a true salt of the earth human.

Bernadine, in the hat, the manager of the Unbisan Conservancy; she is pictured translating for Elizabeth (who loved her new readers).

Ethan rode with us for two full days in the Sorris Sorris Conservancy. He knew everyone!
He seemed to love being with us and we loved him. He was a great help and we will find him again!

Berwald, a guide out of the Lodge where we stayed and happy to join us for a day.
Having grown up in the area, because of him, we found Minnie (who Terrie saw as a baby in 2024) the elephant.

Finally Tangeni, a Harvard educatied journalist, who loved every minute helping one morning. He was from the capital city of Windhoek, but did speak the local language. The quote he heard from a woman with her new glasses was: “Now I don’t need to use a torch (flashlight) to see during the day!”

Today, June 18, 2026, T-Up Vision Inc. celebrates its first anniversary! Over the past year, together we have helped expand access to vision care and corrective eyewear, creating opportunities for individuals around the world to see more clearly and thrive. We celebrate the lives already impacted and the even greater possibilities ahead!

This milestone has been made possible by the generosity, encouragement, and support of our community. Thank you to those that have supported us thus far!

As we plan for what’s ahead, and as will be officially returning to Namibia in November of 2026, we ask for your continued support. Please click the link in our bio to help us continue making our mission a reality. Let’s see what this next year has to offer! 🌎🤓💚💙

Our next appreciation post is for William, a guide who Terrie met on her safari in May of 2024 (slide 1). Two years later (slides 2-6), William served T-Up wholeheartedly, driving 2000 km (1200 miles) over the course of eight days, translating, assigning conservancy guides as we traveled, registering participants, making sure lunch and water were always had, and ensuring the crew was home safe by dark. We are incredibly grateful for William’s time and dedication, and cannot thank ultimate.earth enough for sharing him with us!
