The initiative focuses on identifying eyesight problems early, particularly in under-resourced communities where access to healthcare services is limited. Through partnerships with healthcare professionals and local schools, children are receiving free eye screenings, with those in need also being assisted with corrective glasses.
The foundation highlighted that poor vision often goes unnoticed in classrooms and can seriously affect a child’s academic performance and confidence. By addressing this issue, the programme hopes to remove a major barrier to education and give learners a better chance to succeed.
Parents, teachers, and community leaders have welcomed the initiative, praising it for bringing essential health services directly to schools. The programme is expected to reach thousands of learners nationwide, reinforcing the foundation’s ongoing commitment to youth development and social upliftment.
