In 2012, only 15% of the population had access to local eye care services. Fast forward to today and every single person in Rwanda can benefit from local, affordable vision correction and treatment. Working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, 2,700 nurses were trained and over 2.5 million Rwandans received a vision screening either at their local health centre or as part of an outreach programmeme that reached all 15,000 villages nationwide.
