About 200 indigent residents of Osun State have received free medical treatment and eye glasses.
The outreach at Agunbelewo Community in Osogbo was organised by a non-profit organisation, Community Advance for Self-Reliance (CAI4SR) with the support of Essilor Vision for Life in collaboration with Rave FM and KIITAN Foundation.
Also, general body check-up was provided for the beneficiaries who were given drugs free of charge.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mr Sogo Musibau Abdulkareem and Mrs Afolabi Victoria expressed gratitude to the organisers of the outreach for the gesture.
Abdulkareem said: “I have an eye challenge. I heard about this free eye treatment outreach and I decided to come for it. The glasses I was using before were no longer okay. I underwent a test here and I was given a new pair of eyeglasses. I’m grateful to the organisers.”
The Programme Coordinator for CAI4SR, Mrs Eni Ayeni, said the outreach was in commemoration of World Sight Day with the theme “Love Your Eyes”.
