Eyes Are Closing, Hopes Are Not Fading

Cataracts are common in many parts of Africa—especially Somalia. Due to intense sunlight, malnutrition, and lack of access to healthcare, cataracts can lead to blindness even at a young age.

Many people never see a doctor in their lifetime. However, cataracts are a disease that can be easily treated with early intervention. However, the scarcity of specialists and financial constraints make this treatment inaccessible.

10 Million People Have Vision Problems

More than 10 million people across Africa have vision problems.

At least 5 million of these people are blind due to cataracts alone.

Approximately 600,000 new cases are added to this number each year. But ending this darkness is just one surgery away.
