UVP Eye Surgeon Generator
Uganda Village Project, a close partner of CAN, has developed a new partnership with a local cataract surgeon in Uganda who through partnership with another local charity is able to provide free cataract surgeries to patients in need. Completed!

The generator for the eye care surgeries has now been purchased!! It will make it's debut on March 26, 2009 at the Nsinze Health Center for a day of Cataract surgeries. Below is the list of our other scheduled eye care events in which the generator will be used.

We will primarily be using this generator in partnership with Sight Savers International (SSI), to perform cataract screenings and surgeries. When not in use by SSI, it will be used in Iganga Hospital, and to assist in our well building initiatives. In order to regulate and monitor the use of this generator between UVP, Sight Savers International, and the local government, we have signed an Memorandum of Understanding with these two parties. We are all very happy about our generator and the possibilities that it has developed for the people of Iganga district!! May I send their thanks and deep gratitude!!
