CTSOE

This is Claude, our 8-year-old hero. His words touched our hearts: ‘Doctor, will you treat me? Will you operate on me? Please, do a good job. I need to go back to school. My teacher must be wondering where I am.’ His courage inspires us. #EyeCare #Burundi #HopeForTheFuture

Helping visually impaired children see better - Our team is visiting schools for blind children nationwide. With simple tools like magnifiers, we help improve learning and autonomy for kids with residual vision. Together, we transform lives. #VisualHealth #Impact

We proud to extend our mission beyond children’s eye care to help vulnerable adults in need of sight restoration. This initiative, made possible through partnerships with organizations like DAK Foundation, embodies our commitment to serving communities @mspls_bdi @UNICEF_Burundi

On #WorldSightDay, even though the theme focused on children’s eye care, we extended free care to vulnerable adults as well. Thanks to the support of @SevaFoundation and DAK Foundation, we witnessed the joy of restored vision across generations. #EyeCareForAll #HopeInSight

Burundi’s Ministry of Health, with ⁦@FredHollows⁩ , is conducting a national RAAB. Training and pilot exercises have started. Excited to see results 12 years after the first RAAB to plan and advocate for eye health. #RAAB #EyeHealth linkedin.com/posts/ctsoe_th…

Nothing brings us more joy at CTSOE than witnessing a child who arrives unable to see and leaves with a smile, their sight restored. The difference a day makes can light up a lifetime! 🌟 #VisionForAll #CTSOE

Capping off a 4-day outreach campaign, our team relaxed at the source of the Nile. Well-deserved rest for our dedicated heroes! 🌊🌟 #TeamBonding #Recharge

Our outreach coordinator Perets educated the community about how early screening can prevent blindness. #HealthEducation #EyeCare

Our counselor demonstrated our commitment to compassionate care by guiding a blind patient. Our support continues every step of the way. #Support #EyeHealth

A conversation that makes a difference. Last week, our counselor had, explaining the life-changing benefits of eye surgery. #ChangeMakers #EyeHealth"

A week ago, we welcomed Marnie Rickards of #DakFoundation and Njoki Wachira from @Seva_Foundation. Their support fuels our mission against preventable blindness! 🌍👁️ #HealthcareHeroes

Preparation is key! In a meeting, #CTSOE's dedicated team of public and private sector experts are laying the groundwork to combat eye diseases in Bururi. Thanks to the support from #dakfoundation, we're gearing up to bring crucial eye care to those in remote areas. #VisionForAll

This case underscores the need for global health awareness and comprehensive prenatal care. Early detection is key, but prevention is our ultimate goal. Together, we can protect our children from preventable diseases. #PublicHealth

Today’s surgery on a young patient revealed retinal lesions behind a cataract, linked to congenital rubella syndrome. #XOVA-trained rural nurses are crucial, spotting early signs of eye diseases, highlighting our shared mission. #EyeHealth”

Thanks to the initiative by Dak Foundation , we've revolutionized early access to care for blind children. By going directly into communities, we identify and assist children like Kezimana, 4 months, with bilateral cataract. A big step towards a brighter future! 🌟
