Trachoma, a painful bacterial eye infection, is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the world. 

Trachoma is especially pervasive in developing countries.  The disease causes unnecessary pain and suffering and prevents people from working and providing for their families. 

Trachoma fuels the cycle of poverty. 

Trachoma treatment programs have been typically limited to top-down foreign intervention, which is periodically administered by international organizations through governmental agencies, an externally controlled pharmaceutical approach.

These well-intentioned interventions fail to empower local populations to address trachoma for themselves.  To more effectively alleviate trachoma’s burden, Africans must weigh treatment alternatives, make their own choices and implement their own methods, essentially a bottoms-up approach.

Africans must treat themselves.

our Mission & Strategy

We support local organizations in developing countries to eliminate trachoma symptoms by providing new methods and treatments at the grass roots level.

We support symptom elimination with an inexpensive, locally available treatment called EyeBath.  EyeBath is based on an FDA approved immune system stimulant which is particularly effective against bacterial eye infections.

We support local organizations to expand EyeBath treatment to remote regions of their respective countries and beyond.
