Summary

This project will help address the visual impairment in Pakistan through mobile school screening thus helping the poor children to grow healthy and contribute in the development of the nation

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

A major population of rural areas of Pakistan is affected with Eye problems. Poverty is a big hurdle for these people to come to the cities for treatment. The cost of treatment is beyond their capacity. KEF aims to go to the door steps of the poor masses by holding EYE CAMPS and performing Cataract surgeries for these people free of cost.
