¥612 million for five more years of cataract surgery in western Kenya

The Foundation has renewed its partnership with the Lake Region Eye Trust in Kisumu, its largest sight restoration grant, to pay for 24,000 operations by 2030.

The grant, of ¥612 million over five years, will pay for surgery for about 24,000 people, with outreach camps in Siaya and Homa Bay counties and transport for each patient and a companion. It also pays for the Trust’s outcome audits and for the tracing of a sample of patients who miss follow-up.

The Trust has worked with the Foundation since 2009 and runs one of the fourteen implant aftercare clinics. It is the largest partner in the sight restoration programme by number of operations.

The grant is listed in the grants database as KF-2025-0007.
