Sam Muchunguzi, leader of local council five in Ntungamo district, made the call this afternoon at a ceremony at the district council hall where Light for the World Uganda donated a variety of eye medications.
The chairperson stated that if problems were identified and addressed at a young age, they could have been prevented from becoming more serious problems.
Mukiibi Nasser, the chief administrative officer of Ntungamo, disclosed that the district is now hiring additional optics.
Lovincer Nantongo the project coordinator for light the world Uganda revealed that the intention is to ensure that children both in school and out school are helped with closer emphasis on their sight.
