Our Vision
The Hope for the blind Trust was established by ophthalmologists who worked and trained in the Limpopo province. Limpopo currently has the highest rate of disability from cataract blindness in the country. As a result, these ophthalmologists developed a passion for people of the Province who suffer from unnecessary cataract blindness. They are currently working either in the state or private sector and are supported by their amazing families in this new endeavor of faith.
The Hope for the Blind (HFTB) Trust is dedicated to improving service delivery to the visually impaired and blind people of Limpopo and adjacent areas.
As part of this vision we aim to establish a not-for-profit, independent eye surgery unit, that will focus primarily on service delivery to poor patients with treatable blindness.
We endeavour to be a place of hope, excellence and service in our provision of eye care.
