SOCIAL IMPACT

Our mission has always been to provide access to Quality Eyecare for Everyone

We work with the communities on the ground, both locally and nationally, to prevent disease and provide eyecare

This social impact is possible thanks to the endless generosity and commitment of many different stakeholders and donors

Find out more and discover how you can support our Social Impact work and activities

in 2022 we treated over 36,500 people

We reach out to communities in many different ways to meet as many people as possible to spread awareness about the importance of eyecare, the existence of support measures for visual impaired people and the prevention of irreversible blindness.

Everything begins with the grassroots work in the community

WE ORGANISE AND ATTEND EVENTS

We embrace taking part in community events offering expertise on eyecare to communicate and sensitise the public on the importance of getting an eye check. Our Community Based Workers identify and refer people to Kwale Eye Centre

WE WORK CLOSELY WITH GOVERNMENT

We constantly liaise with the Ministry of Health, sharing statistics of work done, training government employees and working with medics in delivering eye care. The stats inform the county governments and enable appropriate decisions.

WE SET UP POP-UP CLINICS AND MEDICAL CAMPS

Scheduled eye screenings in health centres and hospitals, schools, meeting places , public places

WE OFFER SPONSORED CARE

Thanks to the service payments from patients and donations received from individuals, corporates and foundations, we can offer subsidised care to people in need.

WE VISIT SCHOOLS & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

We sensitise educationalists on the importance of eyecare and prevention. We help teachers learn how to assess visual difficulties and how to support their visually impaired students in learning. We organise screenings for all the student population and enlist the students' help to do this and reach the surrounding community

WE ORGANISE AND OFFER TRAINING

We train medics in hospitals and health centres; non medics in admin, project and community; parents, teachers of sight challenged children on how best to inform children; community leaders and the general public on how to recognise and refer basic eye conditions, so they can refer their community to Kwale Eye Centre.

The VIP - VISION IMPACT PROJECT is a major Social Impact program that Kwale Eye Centre began implementationin 2022.

This program can be considered a best-practice approach to eyecare as it involves charity partners (CBM), medical institutions (KEC) and the Government (Kwale County Government).

All together we are working to prevent eye diseases in the County by creating a sustainable approach that could be replicated elsewhere.
