DIOCESE OF LIWOLO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CRESS UK ORGANISED EYE SURGERY IN AUGUST 2022 IN MIJALE, KERWA SUB COUNTY
TESTIMONIES FROM THE PATIENTS OPERATED
Before the operation, I haven’t been seeing well, It has been affected since 3 years ago, It started with one, then after a year, I can only see what is near, only one meter away.
One of the eyes was paining so much, it hurt most time.
After the operation, the pain was fair that night, but the following day, the pain has gone. I can now see a distance of 5 meters away.
I am so thankful to CRESS UK/ DOL for supporting us with this eye project beginning with the screening and now the surgery. As a beneficiary, I am so happy for the support.
May God give you more wisdom on this eye project to extend this again in the future as many of our people are affected. Also, teach our children to learn how to operate our eyes so that the project will stay with us for a lifetime.
Again thank you so much. God bless you.
Before the operation, my eyes have not been seeing well for two years now. The left one is fairly good but the right one is the worst.
One of the eyes was paining so much, it hurt most time.
The night of the operation was a little challenging with so much pain. Now it’s somehow fair, with the medication going on, I believe it will be okay. Am glad I can be able to see some distance away.
I am so grateful to CRESS UK/ DOL for supporting us with this eye Surgery beginning with the screening and now the surgery. I personally, I am thankful for the work which was brought to us, up to where we live in Mijale. Its been very expensive to get this service, and we can’t afford it, when the chance came, I welcomed it with two hands and am glad to be a beneficiary of this great eye work.
May God give you guide you through this project

Before the operation, my first eye problem started in March 2021, the two eyes were both affected, it hurts and pains so much. The two eyes were not seeing completely. They have to move me with a second hand. It was so challenging. I struggled a lot. When I received the news about the eye project for the Diocese of Liwolo, I was so excited and asked my people to take me to Mijale for the screening, which was done.
And now, after the first operation on the right eye, I can see again, am so grateful and hopeful to the doctors that the left eye too will be operated on successfully.
I am so delighted to CRESS UK/ DOL for supporting us with this eye Surgery. Personally, I am grateful for the work which was extended to us freely without pay. I couldn’t miss this golden opportunity. I missed the opportunity to be taken to the clinic because I couldn’t afford it. There are no funds. I come from a very poor family where finding money is very hard because we did not go to school.
Thank you so much. God bless you and the doctors for the works of their hands.
Looking forward to restoring my vision through this eye surgery. You are a blessing to my life even in old age.
After the operation of the second eye, I could not wait for the next day for the cotton to be removed, the following morning, at about 9 am, when the cotton was removed, I was so glad when both of my eyes could see. I am so happy because both my eyes can see now. Thank you once again CRESS UK/DOL and the doctors for restoring my sight back. I did not believe that I will ever see him again.
May God bless you abundantly and reward you. Continue sharing the light with many whose eyes have been darkened with blindness in our community.
