We provide expertise, eye-camps, equipment, medicines, eye-health products and training to communities that do not have access to them.
Recent examples include eye-health products and equipment sent to clinics in Zimbabwe and Barbados. We are also working with partners to deliver governance and training to schools in Zimbabwe to test the eyesight of school-age children.
Mission
“To create a world where vision is valued and protected, health inequalities are eradicated, and nobody loses their sight from preventable diseases.”
Vision
“To be global ambassadors for eye-care working with policy-makers, innovators, researchers and communities to unlock access to high-quality eye care for people living in deprived communities across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Commonwealth.”
