Our projects

We enable selected local people to check their eyes for visual impairments or medical abnormalities. They learn how to carry out eye tests using simple tools. If necessary, they arrange medical help. And they themselves can earn money for themselves and their families with their work. Sustainable solutions and helping people to help themselves are the top priorities for TravelEye.

If people cannot come to the screenings, we bring the screenings to the people: We also organise eye screenings in remote locations and offer our services there. Even distances of 50 kilometres are insurmountable for many locals - because they are not mobile or the conditions of the connecting roads do not permit a transfer. Our locals enjoy the trust of their fellow countrymen.

Beschreibung Our favourite project is the eye clinic in Bwanda, Uganda. TravelEye has been supporting its construction from the very beginning. We want to create a permanent contact point for eye health here. We have collected the optical equipment from partners in German-speaking countries and organised the transport to Uganda. In future, customised visual aids will be manufactured and fitted in our own optician's workshop. Medical help for health problems is right next door.

The training of local specialists is one of the most important aspects of our work. The aim is to train local people to a level where they can look after themselves and their fellow human beings.

Apart from our official projects, it is a matter of course for us to lend a hand where necessary. Skilled craftsmanship is an advantage at this point!
