Staff Reporter A VISION screening and eyewear initiative by ultimate.earth, in partnership with T-UP Vision and the Conservation Travel Foundation, has provided life-changing corrective glasses to nearly 500 residents and conservancy members in Namibia’s Kunene Region, restoring sight and improving daily livelihoods in some of the country’s most remote communities. In a region where access to basic healthcare services remains limited by vast distances and logistical challenges, hundreds of residents have received transformative vision support through a mobile eye-care initiative aimed at improving quality of life in remote communities. The programme, led by ultimate.earth (formerly Ultimate Safaris) in partnership with its non-profit Conservation Travel Foundation and T-UP Vision, a public benefit organisation focused on providing corrective eyewear to underserved populations, was rolled out as a pilot project in the Kunene Region.
