When sight really does means life - Take a look at our work! Video editing by Garry McHugh - with much thanks. Since Spring of 2007 Asante has provided the Wakamba people of Kenya's Eastern Province with the basics of modern eye-care.
Each year Irish optician Bernard Jennings and travel writer Brendan Harding along with a small team of volunteers have traveled to this drought and famine afflicted region in an effort to improve the lives and restore a semblance of dignity to the people. To date over 6,000 people have been screened for all manner of eye problems - from cataracts, lacerations, snake venom to general age-related degeneration and solar-related degeneration - and from those tested over 800 have had sight-restorative treatments. Through the benevolence of family, friends, corporate sponsors and the ultimate kindness of strangers our work has been such a success and for this we thank you sincerely. As always we look forward to your continued support and in return you will have the continuous thanks of so many. Translate This Page |
