2024 Screening Target Reached

To cap off World Sight Day 2024, we are very excited to announce that, ahead of schedule, we have reached our 2024 screening target of 12,000 children, screened since January 1st.

This amazing achievement wouldn’t have happened without the incredible effort from our volunteers who selflessly give their time to help detect vision problems, that 1 in 5 children have.

As a result, this year over 2,200 children have been referred to eye health professionals for follow up and treatment, improving their vision, development and self-esteem. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in meeting this milestone. We look forward to many more to come!
