The charity conducted this free vision eye-care screening mainly not only for school-going children, but also the elderly and those with urgent eye diseases were attended to.
At the end of the open day, the association was able to register a total of one hundred and ninety-six (196) patients with different vision challenges due to either cataract, glaucoma (5), Refractive errors (24) or conjunctivitis (24), just to mention a few.
At the event, Sheriffo Mboge, a member of the association, underscored the importance of the event, saying the non-charity organisation and the association have been in existence for the past 10 years,
The idea behind the initiative, he added, is all about helping underprivileged people who are affected with eye care vision in local communities and to provide people with free eye care services.
The association, he added, generates funding through its membership contribution as members pay on their own contribution as well as some donors.
Mboge, however, revealed that sometimes the association receives support from generous philanthropists to help undertake other activities.
“We as members of the association are very much grateful to the support that we are receiving from philanthropist to do a community engagement with free eye care vision services."
Mboge thanked members of the association most especially the community, who came out in their numbers to get tested so as to ascertain the type of disease affecting their vision.
