Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital - Westcombe Charitable Foundation

Many people living in poverty with vision problems never get the treatment they need for clearer vision, even when it’s something as simple as receiving a pair of glasses, or if they require a life-changing but simple cataract surgery. Blindness can be isolating and leave people excluded from society, as well as struggling to cope financially. In 2016 Westcombe foundation successfully funded The Lions Sight First Eye Hospital in Kenya helping with 250 cataract surgeries to bring the gift of sight to people in impoverished communities who have been living in the dark for far too long and help the Lions Sight First Eye Hospital to expand in size and capability well into next decade.
