ECF since 1994 in Laos

Eye Care Foundation has collaborated in Laos with the National Ophthalmology Centre (NOC) in the capital, Vientiane, since 1994. This partnership is a joint effort between provincial health care departments and provincial eye departments from hospitals to improve the quality of eye care services on a national, regional and village level.

How we work together in Laos

In Laos, our goal is to prevent avoidable blindness and vision impairment and combat it on a national, regional and village level. ECF started the collaboration with the Laotian government in 2012 to expand and strengthen the eye care services and eye camps in the Xieng Khouang, Houaphan and Xay Somboun provinces.

Donations make our work possible

Our activities for good eye care are possible through active funding. Eye Care Foundation runs entirely on donations, large and small. Donations make our work possible; without them, these regions have no opportunities for good eye care. We use our donations directly for all our activities.
