We have successfully completed the preparations for the eye research project for the residents in Kenya

Apr 30, 2024

Despite enormous, praise-worthy efforts to ensure the well-being of children, adequate healthcare remains a challenge in many regions of Africa. Limited resources, lack of awareness, and inadequate education contribute to the high frequency of undiagnosed and untreated eye diseases in children. Recognizing these issues, our Foundation strives to fill this gap and improve access to eye care through its comprehensive actions.

Early detection, implementation of a systematic Ophthalmology Screening Tests Program for early identification of visual impairments and eye diseases in children is crucial in preventing permanent, irreversible vision disorders.     

The main goal of our program is:

Medical staff training: Offering specialized training programs to teach healthcare workers the skills necessary for effectively diagnosing children's vision problems.

Community involvement: The project aims to create a sense of responsibility for a child's healthy vision by involving the community.

Empowering medical staff: Increased skills and knowledge of medical staff will result in more effective healthcare provision.

Improving children's vision: Ultimately, it is essential to strive towards ensuring that all children have clear, proper vision. Early detection and intervention are crucial for the appropriate development and improvement of children's vision.

Through organizing the Ophthalmology Screening Tests Program for children and training medical staff in Africa, the Foundation is involved in creating a lasting aid program for the African community. To materialize this idea, we invite individuals, organizations, and companies to join us.

Whether it's financial support, volunteering, or raising awareness, every contribution counts towards building a healthier future for children.
