Dear Esteemed Partners & Supporters,
I send you warm greetings and deep appreciation for your ongoing commitment to helping us protect children from preventable blindness. Your support is invaluable to our mission.
Project Overview
Our project titled “Help Stop Blindness In Its Tracks For 700 Children” aims to identify, treat, and prevent blindness in vulnerable children by providing access to screening, eye care, and essential sight-saving interventions.
Progress and Challenges This Quarter
Regrettably, during the last quarter, we faced a significant challenge—a shortage of funds—which limited our capacity to assist children in urgent need. Specifically, we were unable to fund vital eye care for any of the children, including several needy boys who had already been identified and screened for treatment.
This pause has been distressing for both our team and the affected families, as timely intervention is crucial to preventing irreversible visual impairment and loss of educational opportunities for these children.
Moving Forward
Despite this setback, our commitment remains unwavering. We are doubling our efforts to mobilize resources, collaborate with partners, and engage our supporters and the community to ensure that children receive the care they desperately need.
With renewed funding, our immediate focus will be:
- Providing eye screenings and essential interventions for the targeted children.
- Prioritizing boys and girls who were unable to receive assistance last quarter.
- Conducting community awareness to prevent blindness and promote early detection.
Our capacity to fulfill this mission depends on donors like you. We sincerely hope for your continued generosity, advocacy, and partnership to restore our momentum and enable us to change the future for these children.
Together, we can offer the gift of sight, hope, and opportunity.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
With gratitude,
Ola Akinwe
