Available statistics indicate that 200,000 Ghanaians are completely blind while an additional 600,000 are visually impaired. Seventy-five percent of this blindness is avoidable. An outreach eye camp will restore sight to approximately 50 people in the Ashanti region of Ghana.

A team from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana will travel to a remote site, screen 200-500 patients for cataracts and perform free surgery to those who need it. Blindness is debilitating, particularly in the developing world. This project will help restore sight to 1500 individuals in the Ashanti region of Ghana. With their sight regained, they will return to work and contribute to their families income.
