6110 Vision Quest is a project started by the Rotary Club of Iola, Kansas and Rotary District 6110 to bring inexpensive reading glasses to people in the world with little or no hope of receiving glasses. In addition to the actual glasses, this project is structured in such a way as to allow for the development of a micro business using micro credits.

The project provides the raw materials and training needed to allow someone in a developing country to make reading glasses for themselves and their neighbors. This is accomplished by Rotarian's partnering with Rotarian's in countries whose citizens have unmet vision needs. No one knows the needs within a country better than the Rotarian's that live there.

Those Rotarian's can be trained to make the glasses in a short period of time using the jig and tools that come in the glasses kit. Next the newly trained Rotarian selects a community with needs and goes there to select a resident to be trained to test eye sight and make glasses needed for those in their community.

Approximately sixty percent of people with vision problems can be helped with something as simple as reading glasses.
