PROYECTO VISION “Light for Ethiopia”
We are a group of volunteers, professionals working basically in the field of medicine also, in other areas. Our shared aim is to improve the eye health in a poor region of Ethiopia by fighting to erradicate avoidable blindness in twelve woredas (districts) with a beneficiary population of approximately one fourth of the Region of Tigray. It would be impossible for Proyecto Visión to carry out its Project without the invaluable financial aid provided by members and collaborators , these are a vital part of our organization.

TIEMPO DE SEMBRAR
Las Naciones Unidas reclama al Gobierno Central de Etiopía lo siguiente: que es esencial para la región del Tigrée que los civiles estén protegidos, que la ayuda humanitaria llegue a todos aquellos que la necesiten, y que se encuentre una solución política.
Sabemos, pero que la Clínica St. Louise ha seguido trabajando tanto como han podido ofreciendo ayuda médica y sanitaria a quien se acercaba y también en lo posible, aportando alimentos a los necesitados.
