EyeCare We Care Foundation

There are three projects that the foundation
is now working on.

This mobile clinic will be very similar to the
current mobile vision clinic except it will be set up to do eye surgeries.
Mainly cataract and pterygium surgeries. The foundation will need
specialized equipment for the mobile surgery clinic. Portable operating
microscope, operating table, A scan, Autoclave, Surgical Instruments and
Surgical Supplies. The Cost of the mobile clinic itself will cost $35,000 US
dollars and the needed equipment and supplies will also cost about $35,000
US dollars, bringing the project to $70,000 US.

The Foundation has received a donation from a
person in Hawaii a complete optical lab to manufacture both
glass and plastic lenses. The foundation already has 6 auto lens edgers in
the Philippines. The foundation needs to ship the instruments from Hawaii to
the Philippines $10,000 US. The Foundation
hopes to build the optical lab in Bacolod City, Negros/Occidental, Philippines. The Estimated costs the
optical lab/ administrative office building is $75.000; land for the
building $25,000 materials and supplies to manufacture the lenses is
$25,000; office supplies $5,000 and legal expenses $2,000 bringing the total
project to $142,000 US.

3. Mini Bus to transport
volunteers.
-
The foundation transports over 20 volunteers
to all of the medical missions. They can ride aboard the mobile clinic to
the rural destination, but then private vehicles has to bring them back home
at night and to the sight the next day, because often times the mobile
clinic will stay in the site for 2 to 3 days. The mini bus could also be
used during the day to transport indigents to and from the mobile clinic
from surrounding barangays (small villages). The Cost of a 25 seat mini bus
is $12,000 US.
