Introduction We are thrilled to announce our upcoming free cataract surgery project, scheduled for November 2024 in Somaliland. This annual initiative aims to provide life-changing surgeries to those who need it most but cannot afford the cost. After the success of our previous events, including one in June this year, we are returning to offer this essential service once again. Our goal is to restore sight and improve the quality of life for vulnerable individuals, including refugees, regardless of their ethnicity.

What is the Free Cataract Surgery Project About? Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness, especially among the elderly and those without access to adequate medical care. Our free cataract surgery project is dedicated to helping individuals regain their vision and independence. By offering these surgeries at no cost, we aim to eliminate the financial barrier that prevents many from receiving the care they need.

Success of Our Previous Cataract Surgery Events We have been conducting this project annually, with tremendous success each year. Most recently, in June of this year, we were able to restore sight to numerous individuals in Somaliland, allowing them to return to their daily activities and live fuller lives. The smiles and gratitude of our beneficiaries are a testament to the profound impact of this project.

Upcoming Surgery Project in November 2024 Building on the success of our previous events, we are excited to return to Somaliland in November 2024 for another round of free cataract surgeries. This project targets the vulnerable populations in Somaliland, including refugees, and is open to everyone, regardless of their ethnicity. Our dedicated team of medical professionals will be on the ground, ready to provide the highest quality care and support
