Grant application for the purchase of ocular equipment
for paediatric eye examinations
at the Holy Spirit Clinic, Iree, Osun State.

The Congregation of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit in Nigeria has been ministering in Iree and its suburbs for over 15 years. Their primary mission is to provide medical assistance to the local poor. Over the years, the Sisters have been highly valued for providing quality healthcare services to all, especially the poor who are mostly rejected or denied healthcare facilities by other surrounding clinics due to lack of resources. Iree is one of the main towns in the Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State. It is located on the Osogbo-Ila-Orogun Road, about 30 kilometers from Osogbo and 8 kilometers from Ikirun.
As many of Iree’s citizens are farmers, the poverty rate is high, and people mainly turn to traditional healthcare rather than to modern hospitals. Those who have opted for medical care are often denied access due to a lack of resources. Continuous power cuts in the locality force children and students to read with candles and lamps, or even torches, which affects their eyesight.
To this end, the Sisters want to conduct awareness campaigns in Iree and other nearby towns to offer free eye examinations and treatments to children and young people. This will not be possible without the purchase of a portable tonometer, lens and mount for which this proposal is written. Your support will go a long way to restoring sight to the young people of Iree and its suburbs. We are grateful for your past support. This support has given life to a population sometimes left to its own survival.
Objectives:
Eye examination and treatment for children and adolescents.
– To provide health care for children in Iree and the surrounding area.
– To make quality medical services accessible and affordable.
– To give new life and restored vision to children and young people with eye problems.
– To discourage the use of traditional health care.
Needs expressed:
– Portable Bounce tonometer            2,600 €
– Frames                                                   400 €
– Lens                                                        500 €
Total project cost                               3,500 €
