At KCCO, impact is measured not only in numbers, but in lives changed and systems strengthened. It is a child returning to school after cataract surgery, a grandparent regaining independence, and a health worker equipped to deliver quality eye care in their community.<\/p>\n

Across sub-Saharan Africa, we work with partners to reduce avoidable blindness through evidence-informed approaches that improve access, quality, and long-term system performance.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/kcco.org\/support-kcco\/” button_text=”Get Involved” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”94ef7aca-dcd9-4f9d-93b2-efa3466cebc7″ button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#AB6326″ button_border_radius=”37px” button_font=”DM Sans|700||on|||||” custom_margin=”0px||-35px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|22px|12px|22px|false|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”#571F0A” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kcco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4.png” title_text=”4″ show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-1px||-1px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kcco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design9.jpg” title_text=”Untitled design(9)” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” min_height=”140px” height=”560px” height_tablet=”606px” height_phone=”606px” height_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” custom_padding=”|0px||||” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(170,161,109,0.79)” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” height_tablet=”680px” height_phone=”1300px” height_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” custom_padding=”61px|0px|30px|0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”df96b77a-cd4f-44a8-a771-2d6347592b53″ header_text_align=”center” header_2_font=”–et_global_heading_font||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#2C4609″ header_2_font_size=”51px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-0.02em” header_2_line_height=”1.15em” custom_margin=”||10px|||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
