About this project

Jenniver Gebhardt from KALESHWARA YOGA (Kaleshwar e.V.) is responsible for this project
In Autumn of 2023, we accomplished something extraordinary - gathering funds for St. Monica day clinic in Kabuku, Tanzania (http://tinyurl.com/3zrrvzxm), enabling the provision of glasses for those who couldn’t afford them. Sister Jenny Raduk, a brave, devoted member of the Usambara Sister Order, tirelessly oversees this area of the clinic. Her work, ignited by our donations, has since sparked a cascade of gratitude, with weekly messages and photos from children witnessing the world clearly for the first time, and adults who desperately needed this visual aid.

Yet, Sister Jenny dreams bigger, aspiring to establish an eye clinic with an operating room for treating cataracts—a procedure seemingly simple, yet life-changing, sadly unattainable for the impoverished. This operation, taking mere minutes, can illuminate a lifetime spent in the shadows.

In order to achieve this goal, funds for the following devices are required in the first step:

  • 5 Step LED Ophthalmic Operating Microscope (portable): €7,500
  • 5 Step LED Slit Lamp with motorized table: €3,900
  • A Scan MAX with probe and touchscreen/printer: €3,700
  • Cataract and IOL set: €1,100
  • Ophthalmic refraction unit (motorized patient chair unit + manual doctor chair): €3,800
  • Microsurgery Bipolar Cautery with forceps and cutter: €600
  • Ophthalmic Operating table (motorized) with foot pedal: €2,500
  • Surgeon stool (manual): €250
The construction costs for the necessary extension/building are currently being calculated and will then be submitted later.

We're proud to collaborate on this project with a trusted partner with years of experience in executing aid projects in Africa, ensuring each donation is put to the best possible use.

Join the noble mission of bringing clearer vision to Kabuku, Tanzania. Every contribution helps in setting up a local eye clinic, a beacon of hope for many. With your support, we can provide life-changing cataract surgeries and tailor-made glasses to those who can't afford them. Let's illuminate lives, one pair of eyes at a time.
