What We Do
Eliminating avoidable blindness through systems strengthening, local leadership, and integrated eye care programs that reach communities across Africa.
Our Approach
At KCCO, we go beyond one-time interventions. We strengthen eye health systems for lasting impact — grounded in evidence, equity, and local ownership
Evidence-Based
Guided by research, data, and what works in real-world settings.
Community-Oriented
Built in partnership with local providers, ministries, and communities to ensure services reach those most in need
Sustainable
Designed to increase local leadership, capacity, and self-sufficiency over time.
Building Better Systems for Sight
At KCCO, our work focuses on strengthening eye care systems across Sub-Saharan Africa through four key pillars.
Program Delivery & Operations
We strengthen operational foundations in outreach logistics and supply management, equipment and consumables, workforce planning and service workflows
Strategy & Planning
Whether it’s cataract outreach, trachoma elimination or childhood blindness, every programme is co-designed with national and local partners and tailored to local needs.
Capacity Building &
Training
Beyond clinical service delivery, we strengthen institutional capacity in community engagement, leadership, change management, counselling and data use.
Evidence & Learning
We use evidence from research and routine monitoring to generate practical insight. We apply it to improve access and outcomes, especially for women, children and rural communities, and to inform national policy.
