The Kantutani Foundation carried out a solidarity campaign in the municipality of Luribay, benefiting children, older adults, and people with disabilities from various communities in the department of La Paz.
Blindness and vision loss
In Bolivia, rates of blindness and visual impairment are among the highest in Latin America. Approximately 10% of the population has severe vision problems, and 80% of these are preventable, treatable, and curable through visual education campaigns, corrective lenses, and timely surgical interventions.
A cause with major economic and social impact
Over these 13 years, we have transformed the lives of thousands of Bolivians, giving them back the ability to see their loved ones clearly again and have a better future.
Through free care and prevention campaigns, eye exams, the donation of custom-made glasses, and funding for cataract and pterygium surgeries, we have supported stories of overcoming adversity and witnessed eyes that regain light and hope in communities and populations nationwide that do not have access to quality health services.
Nationwide cooperation
Bus of Hope
By breaking down geographic barriers and bringing help where it is needed most, our Foundation has been internationally recognized for developing Latin America’s first mobile operating room, with state-of-the-art equipment that enables specialized medical staff to perform cataract and pterygium surgeries in the affected community, completely free of charge—thus overcoming the social, cultural, and economic differences that limit equal access to quality health services.
