We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free vision screenings to the people of Uganda, with a hope to spread across the rest of Africa. We, the board of VSMIA, are comprised of a committee of Ugandan eye doctors, nurses and trained vision screeners, in addition to two American citizens.
Determine potential need for vision reinforcement
Provide further examination
Supply much-needed glasses
As a team, we organize and administrate vision screening clinics. Those who attend are taken through a screening process and examinations to determine the general health of their eyes. If corrective lenses are deemed necessary, we are able to provide glasses that have been purchased by us or generously donated to us. We are also able to provide certain medications for those whose poor eyesight is due to bacterial and parasitic diseases.
Keep updated as we post information on upcoming clinics, results from clinics past, and general milestones
Follow along as we post pictures from our clinics to get an idea of what we are doing and how we are helping others to see better
There are always more people to treat than time and resources can allow. Through funding from interested individuals and churches in the United States and abroad, we hope to expand our reach and abilities.
As we help more and more people, we realize an increasing need for help ourselves. As interest and support grows, it is then the mission of VSMIA to expand beyond Ugandan borders to assist in the development of similar efforts to provide vision screening services, so as many African individuals can be helped as is possible.
