The Need
In many parts of Kenya, access to basic eye care is a luxury that few can afford. Untreated vision problems not only hinder daily activities but also prevent people from being able to read the Bible and experience the life-changing message of God's Word.
The Ministry
Basil Gitau, an optometrist, and his wife Eva have answered God's call to address this need. Through their eye clinics, they provide free eye exams, glasses, and treatment to those who cannot afford it. But their mission goes beyond physical sight – they also share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Impact
With each eye clinic, lives are transformed in more ways than one. Patients not only receive the gift of clear vision but also have the opportunity to encounter the Light of the World. As they read the Scriptures with newfound clarity, they discover the hope and salvation found in Jesus.
"I once was blind, but now I see." (John 9:25)
Our Partnership
We are honored to partner with Basil and Eva in this life-changing ministry. By providing resources and support, we play a small role in restoring sight and sharing the Good News with those in need.
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10:15)
Get Involved
Join us in prayer for the eye clinics in Kenya. Pray for open eyes, open hearts, and open doors to share the love of Christ. Consider supporting this ministry financially, enabling more clinics to be held and more lives to be impacted. Together, we can be a part of this incredible work, bringing physical and spiritual sight to those who desperately need it.
