The Roger Federer Foundation and the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation have completed their first joint outreach program in Zambia, bringing free vision care to thousands of schoolchildren.
In October, timed to coincide with World Sight Day on 9 October, the initiative provided vision screenings for more than 2,700 learners across community schools in the Mazabuka, Mbala, and Nyimba districts.
The NGOs Reformed Open Community Schools (ROCS) and Zambia Open Community Schools (ZOCS) are implementing early childhood education initiatives in these districts.
