Restoring Vision Humanity First’s Cataract Surgery Camps in Nigeria

In Nigeria, thousands of people suffer from cataracts, a leading cause of blindness, but many cannot afford the surgery needed to restore their vision. To address this critical need, Humanity First organizes free cataract surgery camps across the country, providing life-changing treatment to those who would otherwise remain blind. Since its inception, the program has completed 3,000+ surgeries, restoring vision and improving the quality of life for countless individuals.

The Challenge Cataract Blindness in Nigeria

Cataracts are a major cause of blindness in Nigeria, particularly among older adults and those living in poverty. Without access to affordable surgery, many individuals lose their independence and ability to work, further exacerbating their economic hardships.

• Free Surgeries: Skilled surgeons perform cataract removal surgeries at no cost to patients.
