Nearly 800 Kenyans were provided with glasses and eye care thanks to five Greater Victoria optometrists and their families who went on a bustling seven-day humanitarian mission in January.
In rural Kenya’s Narok County and the Amboseli area, the group set up five pop-up clinics in local hospitals, health units and schools during the first week of 2024. Along with volunteers and translators, the eye doctors drove hours each day to provide care at the remote sites.
