Cataract Surgery Camp – Jinja, Uganda
- Raised
- $8,610
- Goal
- $30,000
My name is Dr. Umut Duygu Uzunel, and I am an ophthalmologist with over 20 years of experience. Since 2014, I have volunteered across several African countries to make modern, sight-saving eye surgeries accessible to people who would otherwise remain blind.
From April 3 to April 13, 2026, I will be participating in a cataract surgery camp in Jinja, Uganda, with the goal of restoring sight to 150 patients.
The cost per cataract surgery is USD 200, which includes:
- Surgical materials and medical supplies
- One night of accommodation with three meals for 2 people (patient and a caregiver)
Transportation from rural areas for both 150 surgeries × USD 200 = USD 30,000
Additional funds will support my flight expenses, allowing me to reach the community and deliver this care.
Every donation—large or small—directly restores sight. Thank you for being part of this life-changing mission.
