Vision Restoration: Cataract Surgeries in Uganda
Partnering with IMET2000 we have re-granted for a second year to provide free, sight-restoring cataract surgeries for hundreds of children and adults across Uganda
Proud to Support Again
We are proud to officially announce a new significant grant awarded to IMET2000 for another year. This immediate funding infusion helps ensure their mobile clinical pipelines stay fully resourced and active. We commit this grant in memory of the late Professor Colin Green. A prominent British scientist, surgeon, and global humanitarian, he served as the Founder and Director of Corporate Development for IMET2000, a charity he established in the year 2000.
- For hundreds of individuals living in impoverished, rural regions of Uganda, preventable blindness from cataracts is a devastating reality. Without access to specialized ophthalmic medical care, conditions that are easily treatable elsewhere end up isolating individuals from their communities, cutting them off from livelihoods, and forcing them into absolute dependency.
"You see people coming in who have been blind for eight, nine years, with people guiding them in. A day later walking out, being able to see... it is like a miracle"
