2026 Cataract Donation and Health Aid
Health is life’s greatest blessing. But in the remote corners of Uganda, treatable illnesses often become a life sentence. A clouded eye, a lingering pain, a child who cannot take a step… all of these can be changed with a single touch.
Why Do We Organize Health Camps in Uganda?
We set out with the motto “One Touch, One Life!” What may be an ordinary eye exam for us is a life-changing miracle in the remote areas of Uganda. While vision is a natural gift for us, in the heart of Africa, it is often an unattainable dream. The road to healing does not always begin with complex medical equipment, but with an extended hand, a healing touch. One single intervention, one surgery, one touch… can change an entire life.
As Care Association, we return once again to Yumbe, a remote region and an Ottoman legacy, transforming lives with our touch. Through cataract surgeries and other medical procedures, we witness the power of a single touch to change a life. A mother seeing her child’s face for the first time, a father freed from pain returning to work… it all begins with a small gesture.
Every bit of support you give can be a touch that turns darkness into light. Every hand you extend can help a child take their first steps. And perhaps most beautifully, your touch can bloom in the prayers of people you may never meet.
One Touch, One Life. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to change the world. And that touch is in your hands. We are simply the means through which your compassion becomes healing.
Come, let us be the hand that reaches Uganda. Let’s walk this path together — and bring healing, together.
What Do We Do in The Health Camp?
Cataract Surgeries
Due to intense sunlight, malnutrition, and poor hygiene conditions in Africa, millions of people struggle with cataract. Because of limited resources, many are unable to undergo surgery and lose their eyesight. Thanks to your cataract donations, our brothers and sisters are able to see again. Through operations carried out in countries such as Uganda and Tanzania, patients can return to their daily lives independently.
Pediatric Surgeries
In regions where healthcare infrastructure is insufficient, illnesses that could be treated with simple medical procedures turn into years of suffering. Our general surgery specialists treat common adult conditions such as hernias, hydrocele, goiter, and various tumor cases. Patients who have endured pain for many years and become unable to work regain their health through surgical interventions and rejoin social life.
General Health Screenings and Medical Aid
In rural areas where access to doctors is limited, our mobile teams conduct comprehensive health screenings. We provide early diagnosis of diseases such as malaria, infections, and hypertension, offer free medication support, and supply eyeglasses to patients with visual impairments.
Training and Infrastructure Support
We do not only focus on immediate relief but also build the future through sustainable healthcare projects. Volunteer Turkish doctors provide training and share their expertise with local healthcare workers. In addition, we support regional hospitals by donating medical equipment such as microscopes, surgical sets, and sterilization devices, increasing the capacity of operating rooms.
