Periods don't stop for a pandemic. Celebrating international #MenstrualHygieneDay is equally as important to acknowledge the continued efforts we need to destigmatize menstruation. WEEMA distributed 430 pads to Mudula & Buho primary schools in Kembata right before COVID lockdown.

All hands on deck as WEEMA set up a #COVID19 task force to provide support to the Kembata Tembaro zone on prevention efforts. Kudos to our Ethiopian staff bravely serving their communities at this time. First up, purchase & delivery of sanitary and medical supplies to the zone.

WEEMA is proud to partner with HCP on this year's cataract campaign! A total of 1054 patients like Kabamo Katebo below have had surgeries done in just 4 days!

[Cure Blindness Project @CureBlindness]

Kabamo Katebo is 67 - a farmer from Duna, Ethiopia - injured his eye on his farm 8 years ago. Yesterday he walked 3 hours to get to the bus to the clinic in hopes of having an operation that would give him part of his sight back.

Finally, our patients walk out of the OR and look forward to a brighter tomorrow (quite literally). Look out for our follow up results tomorrow.

[WEEMA International @WEEMAintl]

We powered through more than 300 patients in our first day! WEEMA is humbled to be part of this incredible team of doctors, nurses, volunteers and organizers.
