RESTORING SIGHT, RESTORING HOPE PROJECT

Dr. Keith Waddell Foundation , Uganda

Restoring Sight to a Child in Uganda: We are now hoping that we might be able to fund as many as 16 optical interventions for children including several sight restoring cataract operations. We are aware that the project had a waiting list for funding children needing treatment but we need to confirm with them how soon all the operations can be fitted into the hospital schedules.
