Esther awaiting her cataract surgery.
Meet Esther, a bright and determined 9-year-old from a small town near Moshi, Tanzania.
She dreams of becoming a doctor, an entrepreneur, or even an interior designer—she’s still deciding!
For as long as she can remember, the world around her has been a blur. Born with cataracts, she has never known a life where the blackboard at school was clear or where she could see her friends’ faces in sharp detail.
For children like Esther, early intervention is life-changing.
Without timely treatment, vision loss in children can cause the brain to lose its ability to process visual information, a condition that can become permanent.
Your support will help launch a brand new outreach program, creating a vital link between the doctors, nurses, and specialized equipment at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) hospital, and people with vision loss who would otherwise never get care due to the barriers they face.
