A Vision of Hope: New Partnership to Restore Sight

A Vision of Hope: New Partnership to Restore SightAltruVision is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. This collaboration aims to make a significant impact by addressing the more than 1,000 individuals currently on the waiting list for sight-restoring corneas in the region.

To date, AltruVision has sent 7 shipments, totaling 59 sight restoring corneas to Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital — an effort valued at $138,450 USD in-kind services. These corneas have brought the gift of sight to many, offering hope and an improved quality of life for individuals in need.

“We are deeply grateful for your efforts in making this dream a reality. May the almighty bless you and give you the strength and courage to continue serving the underprivileged,” shared Rizwana Peerbhoy, General Manager of Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital.

This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration, and AltruVision is proud to continue working alongside Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital to bring light and opportunity to those in need.
