Organisation mission statement
Our mission is to remove the obstacles that prevent blind Filipinos from reaching the fullest potential that God
has for them in life and ministry.

Target group
Blind/ Visually impaired children and adults in the central Philippines

Project purpose
Cebu City is the second largest city in the Philippines. Because of its geographical setting and location being the hub of the central Philippines, we want to continually coordinate, supply and deliver our programs for blind/ visually impaired people in this region from Cebu City (Teacher training program, eye surgery and primary eye care training programs, rehab program, parent training program, the school administrator training program, computer training program, Bible study program and other programs that may be developed). We also want to foster and strengthen the point of contact that we have already been able to establish in Cebu for the last 6 years for anyone needing our services, or wanting to support our programs.
