The Africa Pastoralists Empowerment Organization (APEO), in partnership with the Garissa County Government and international NGO Hands of Charity, is set to roll out a major cataract treatment campaign at the Garissa Level Referral Hospital this August–September 2026. The week long initiative will provide free cataract surgeries and treatment to between 500 and 600 patients, restoring sight and hope to many who cannot afford care. Hands of Charity will fully fund the campaign, supply modern surgical equipment, and deploy specialized doctors and support staff. Local hospital teams will also receive training in advanced eye surgery techniques, ensuring long term impact beyond the campaign. APEO remains committed to supporting this noble cause, which will transform lives and strengthen healthcare capacity in Garissa County.
