Religious Institutions Offer Free Eye Care Services in Tanzania

In a continued effort to support public health in East Africa, the Shia Twelver Khoja community, in collaboration with the Al-Mustafa International University and other faith-based organizations, has once again provided free ophthalmological services to residents in Tanzania.

Hawzah News Agency- This annual initiative, held in the Manazi Mamoja area of Dar es Salaam, brings together a team of volunteer ophthalmologists who offer much-needed medical care to underserved populations. This year’s program was conducted in close coordination with religious institutions, reaffirming the role of faith-based organizations in advancing community welfare.

Organizers say the initiative aims to alleviate the burden of eye diseases in the region and raise awareness about preventable blindness. Hundreds of patients benefited from consultations, screenings, and treatment—all offered at no cost.

The project reflects the growing commitment of religious groups to humanitarian work, especially in the health sector, where access remains limited for many communities in Tanzania.
