Help with cataract surgery for the most in need in remote Tanzania!
To provide life changing eyesight to those most in need through cataract surgery.
Hastings, Hawke's Bay
The gift of sight is one of the most taken for granted senses we have. Imagine nit being able to see for even a few minutes, hours. Imagine then if this was the rest of you life. Cataracts are easily reversible yet many in remote Tanzania live with them simply because they do not have the opportunity to have them operated on.
Eye Care For Africa has built a small clinic in Shinyanga and is set to see our first full scale clinic performed in October 2025. For just $NZD100 (or GBP50) you can make a life-changing difference to someone's life.
Please give generously! Asante sana!
