Kolmarg Eyesight Foundation
Who We Are
Kolmarg Eyesight Foundation is an international Christian non-governmental organization with a mission of providing comprehensive eye care to the poor and underprivileged in sub-Saharan Africa.
Who We Are
Kolmarg Eyesight Foundation (KEF) is an international Christian non-governmental organization located in Jos, north-central Nigeria. It was established by an ophthalmologist, Dr. Olukorede Adenuga on the 22nd of November 2020, and was incorporated on the 8th of March 2021 with Registration Number 156441. The mission of the organization is to provide comprehensive eye care to the poor and underprivileged in sub-Saharan Africa.
The majority of those who are blind in the region are poor and reside in rural areas where eye care facilities and necessary eye care personnel are almost always non-existent. Therefore, the vision of the organization was borne out of a desire to address the challenges associated with accessing eye care in these rural areas by taking the services to those desperately in need of them.
Our Mission & Vision.
What makes us different?
The organization will be carrying out free eye camps, and engage in capacity building at the community level. Services that will be rendered at the camps include cataract surgery, refraction and prescription of reading glasses, screening for diabetic retinopathy, screening for and medical treatment of glaucoma, and treatment of other minor eye conditions. Capacity building will involve training community health workers in primary eye care in the local government areas where eye camps are held, and partnering with local hospitals to improve infrastructure and quality of eye care services.
Our Mission
Elimination of avoidable blindness in sub-Saharan Africa through comprehensive eye care provision at no cost to poor and disadvantaged persons.
Our Vision
To see that no one is needlessly blind from preventable or treatable causes in sub-Saharan Africa.
