Since then we have been hard at work in order to save more sight and transform more lives. This includes:
VISION FOR ZAMBIA
August 2017
Vision for Zambia was Orbis UK’s biggest campaign yet, all thanks to you. We raised £1.9M during the UK Aid Match appeal, between November 2015 and February 2016.
69,808
children screened and treated
279
sight-saving surgeries performed
1,329
health workers trained
Showcasing 37 films across five districts improved awareness about eye health. We have also informed 3,400,000 people via radio programmes about eye health services.
The quality of eye health services is improving across the Copperbelt Province and, as a result, more people like baby Rachael and her mother Verah are seeking help.
Our aim for the next year is to screen and treat more men, women and children – saving even more people’s sight in Zambia.
Earlier this year in recognition of Vision for Zambia we received a Bond International Development award for Best Campaign – thank you so much once again for being a part of this.
In the fight against avoidable blindness every minute matters. Make this one count.
