The initiative benefited people who were attended during eye consultations and examinations promoted by the "For All of Them" project, on August 23 and 24, in the VS-10 communities and at the Usina da Paz in the municipality.
The government of Pará carried out, this Tuesday (4), the free delivery of more than two thousand new prescription glasses to residents of Parauapebas, in southeastern Pará. The initiative benefited people who were attended during eye consultations and examinations promoted by the "For All of Them" program, on August 23 and 24, in the VS-10 communities and at the Usina da Paz in the municipality, respectively.
The deliveries took place at the Faruk Salmen School, in the VS-10 community, where 967 pairs of glasses were delivered to the beneficiaries of the action on August 23, and at the Usina da Paz in Parauapebas, with the distribution of 1,178 pairs to the people attended on the 24th.
Among the beneficiaries of the action was Ana Silva, 37, who went to pick up her son's glasses at the Faruk Salmen School. The resident of the VS-10 community celebrated the achievement and highlighted the importance of the benefit for her son's health and academic performance.
"These glasses will help a lot with my son's studies. He was already having difficulty seeing, and now he will be able to follow the classes better. The action deserves congratulations for taking care of our community," she stated.
Resident Aurilene Alves, 47, received a new pair of glasses and emphasized the positive impact of the initiative on the lives of those who need it most. "This helps a lot for people who cannot afford to buy. I myself had been needing them for a while, and now I will be able to see better," she said.
At the Usina da Paz, sales representative Mirely Corrêa, 35, celebrated the achievement of her new glasses. "I use my phone a lot for work and was already feeling quite visual fatigue. These glasses will help a lot in my daily life and improve my performance in sales," she shared.
During the deliveries, the vice-governor of Pará, Hana Ghassan, highlighted the importance of the program and reinforced the State's commitment to being close to the population.
"The 'For All of Them' program represents the government close to those in need, providing health and citizenship to the people of Parauapebas and all of Pará. With each action, we bring dignity, care, and opportunity to more families in Pará," she stated.
More health and quality of life – With this action, the state government reinforces its commitment to the health and quality of life of the population, expanding access to free ophthalmological services and ensuring that thousands of residents of Pará can see better and live with more dignity.
Created in 2024, the "For All of Them" program has already provided more than 190,000 services throughout Pará, offering over 30 types of free services in the areas of health, citizenship, and leisure. Aimed especially at women and their families, the project aims to strengthen female leadership and expand access to essential rights. Since its inception, the program has also ensured the production and delivery of more than 40,000 pairs of prescription glasses in different municipalities of the State.
"Each pair of glasses delivered means more autonomy, learning, and quality of life for those who receive them. The 'For All of Them' program has this transformative role of caring for people, ensuring access to health, and strengthening the bond between the government and the community," highlighted the State Secretary of Citizenship Articulation, Elieth Braga.
More recognitions – Also during the event held at the Usina da Paz, 155 students from Parauapebas were awarded checks from the "Bora Estudar" program, an initiative of the State government recognizing academic performance and valuing students from the state education network of Pará.
