CDF's Eye Care Outreach Program: Children of Hai Long District

On Wednesday, March 6th, the Community and Development Fund (CDF) embarked on the Phase 3 of its Eye Care Outreach Program, marking a significant time in the journey towards ensuring optimal eye health for the children of Hai Long District. The day was abuzz with activity and purpose as CDF welcomed esteemed American donors from The D.O.V.E Fund and engaged with eager beneficiaries, middle school students from various schools in Hai Thuong Commune.


The program commenced with a heartwarming meeting between CDF representatives and the generous American donors, setting the stage for collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing eye care services for underserved communities. Through this partnership, CDF reinforces its commitment to leveraging global solidarity in addressing local challenges and fostering sustainable development.


As the day progressed, the focus shifted to the core beneficiaries of the program – the bright-eyed middle school students of Hai Long District. The doctors from the Quang Tri Eye Hospital conducted comprehensive vision and acuity tests for a total of 79 students, ensuring early detection of any potential eye-related issues. This proactive approach to eye care not only promotes academic success but also empowers children to thrive with confidence and dignity.


Beyond the immediate impact of vision screening, CDF's Eye Care Outreach Program underscores the broader significance of promoting eye health within school settings. By integrating eye care services into educational environments, CDF addresses systemic barriers to access and empowers children to prioritize their well-being. Through targeted interventions and community engagement, CDF aims to instill a culture of proactive health management and lifelong learning among the youth of Hai Long District.


In two weeks, the Eye Care Outreach Program in Hai Long District reaches its final phase: providing glasses to children in need. These glasses represent more than vision correction; they symbolize newfound opportunities for academic success, social integration, and personal empowerment. With each pair delivered, the program underscores its commitment to holistic eye care, ensuring long-term well-being for the youth of Hai Long.




As the sun set on a day filled with purpose and promise, CDF reflected on the profound impact of its Eye Care Outreach Program in Hai Long District. Beyond the numbers and statistics lies a testament to the transformative power of collective action and compassion. With continued support from partners, donors, and dedicated volunteers, CDF remains steadfast in its mission to create a future where every child can see the world through clear, hopeful eyes.


Thank you again to the D.O.V.E Fund for their support ans visit !
