In October 2023, our organization was proud to celebrate the “WORLD SIGHT DAY” with incredible partners Amahara National and Regional State Health Bureau, The Carter Center, and Light for the world at Tana Haik Secondary School, Bahirdar. We made a collective impact that resonates with the global community. By this particular day: - A total of 2240 individuals with 1310 males and 930 Females from Amhara Education Bureau, Amahara region Labor and training bureau as well as students and teachers from Tana Haik Secondary School were screened for eye health examination and the vision of each participant was measured by Ophthalmologists and Optometrists and provided with treatment, prescription and referral links to the ophthalmic hospitals. -Treatment of community members with ocular infection and inflammation (Eye drop) was delivered for a total of 71 individuals consisting of 46 males and 25 Females. -Eye Health Promotion and Awareness creation was made for a total of 3750 individuals while 2070 are males and 1680 are females. This year's theme, "Love Your Eyes at Work," reminds us to prioritize our eye health and encourage others to do the same. Regular eye check-ups, early detection of eye conditions, and adopting healthy eye habits contribute to a lifetime of good vision. We are immensely grateful for the passion and dedication each organization brought to the collaboration. Together, we demonstrated the power of unity in making a lasting impact on global vision care. Let's continue to champion the cause of eye health together!
