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.
