Our first project....Graphic Authority has teamed up with Unite for Sight, Dedicaid, and the Ashipti Project to bring eyesight to the people of Northern Ghana. $10 from every purchase of a Complete Collection & $5 from every bundle, has gone towards buying a new operating microscope for Dr. Wanye and his medical outreach team in the Tamale region of Northern Ghana.
(Dr Wanye , one doctor, serves 2.5 million people)
This year...In 2008 Graphic Authority will also be sponsoring four students to attend medical school to become Opthamologists. They will then be required to return & serve for two years in Northern Ghana. Not only will this help the individuals rise from poverty but also impact the local villages.
Dr. Wanye is currently the only eye doctor in a region of more then two million people. His team provides free treatment and surgeries to people who have preventable forms of blindness such as cataracts, trachoma, or refractive error. With the help of Unite for Sight, last year Dr. Wanye provided more then 500 cataract surgeries and more then 600 trachoma surgeries to the people in the Tamale region of Ghana.
With a new portable microscope Dr. Wanye and his team will be able to treat more people in rural communities throughout the Tamale region. We hope that you will join Graphic Authority in giving the gift of vision across the world.
