Last week, Vision Ability Zimbabwe (VAZ) partnered with The Ministry of Health and Child Care, Zimbabwe Albino Association, and The National Council of Disabled Persons of Zimbabwe to host a vital Low Vision Screening event at the Harare Gardens. This intimate gathering aimed to provide essential vision assessments and raise awareness about visual impairments among children and youths in our community.
The event buzzed with warmth and camaraderie as families gathered under the gentle shade of Harare Gardens, with over one hundred children and youths getting screened. Against this picturesque backdrop, our dedicated team of professionals and volunteers worked diligently to conduct thorough vision screenings for attendees.
The event served as an invaluable opportunity to engage with families on the importance of early detection and intervention for visual impairments. Through informative presentations and one-on-one discussions, attendees gained insights into the challenges faced by individuals with low vision and explored avenues for support and assistance.
Here are a few snapshots capturing the essence of our gathering at Harare Gardens:
