Amos, smiling after the patch was removed from his eye

Amos, a 12 year old boy was diagnosed with cataract in his left eye at a CBM’s partner, Lighthouse for Christ Eye Centre mobile outreach. Although in great need of surgery then, he could not make it to Lighthouse because of financial obstacles. With their neighbours’ assistance help finally came through. Amos was admitted to the hospital and had a successful cataract surgery. A partnership between CBM and Standard Chartered Bank in Kenya provided sponsorship for his eye operation. Amos is now happy and looking foward to going back to school.
