Meet Lamine Doumbia from
Falani village and is 75 years young…

DAY 1
“I wasn’t able to see for years, so I went to the Mobile Health Clinic with my grandson who led me there to get check-ups. My family and I had never seen a doctor before because we do not have money or a car. The kind doctor detected cataract disease in my eyes. They told me to come back the next day for a quick, painless, free surgery to restore sight to my left eye since it was worse than the right.”

DAY 2
“I arrived at the clinic in the morning and was all finished by noon! The doctors were so thoughtful in making sure I was comfortable. I was told to come back the next day for a post-operation check-up to make sure my eye was healing properly. I was so excited to fully see the faces of my family, get back to work, and see this beautiful world again!”

DAY 3

“Once my post-operation check-up was cleared, I smiled bigger than I have in a long time, grabbed my bike, and took a ride through the village! I was laughing the whole time, people probably thought I was a crazy man, but I didn’t care because I now have a new lease on my life and can’t wait to see the sun set tonight. Thank you from my entire heart, Embrace Relief, volunteer doctors, and those who donate for curing cataracts for giving me this gift.”

Poverty

More than 90% of the world’s visually impaired people live in low and middle-income countries. Contrary to common belief, not all of these people are old – even children can get cataracts.

Childhood

An estimated 1.4 million children under age 15 are blind. Yet approximately half of all childhood blindness can be avoided by early treatment of disease and correcting abnormalities.
