How it all started-a personal perspective


This charity was borne out of a desire to translate what I have learnt into something that would make  a difference in Africa. A deep sense of personal humility and gratitude for the investment in my life from so many over a sustained period of time. I am restless until the dream of providing affordable accessible, quality eye services one person at a time, one community at a time.

A dream that one day others like me could in a small way could impact on the the lives of thousands elsewhere less fortunate. We will all be richer for it! 

In 2001 'Sight 2020 Direct' was registered as a charity to take the fight for sight to Africa. I had recently been appointed Consultant at The Royal Gwent NHS Trust, Newport, South Wales but felt incomplete. Friends and family supported me and 'Sight 2020 Direct' was born!
