Eye Camps 2026
Cataracts and uncorrected refractive errors are the two leading causes of visual impairment around the world and there are over 90% of people suffering from visual impairment live in developing countries. Cataract surgery can take minutes, but cataracts still cause 49% of the world’s blindness due to lack of optical aid.
“Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
Mark Twain
Beta Charitable Trust is continually committed to supporting the establishment of medical clinics and mobile medical and eye camps throughout the World. As COVID-19 has spread across the world, those already living in rural areas and marginalised from receiving medical aid are at greater risk than ever. Despite this, our partners on the ground have been continuing their efforts and providing cataract surgeries where possible. Whilst there have been a pause in camps for some partners, others have been able to continue with safe distancing and restrictions in place.
These life changing surgeries are vital in aiding the needy across rural areas of Kenya, Tanzania and India. We are very grateful to our partners on the ground who have pushed through the uncertainty and continued their hard work by restoring sight and giving hope for a brighter future. Their work during these dangerous times is hugely significant.
