Qatar Charity Bangladesh has launched a month-long humanitarian programme, Vision Initiative 2025.

The programme aims at restoring eyesight and improving access to eye care for underprivileged people across the country.

The initiative was inaugurated on Tuesday at the Lions Eye Institute and Hospital in Agargaon, Dhaka.

Under the initiative, Qatar Charity will organize eye camps in Dhaka, Rangpur, and Khulna divisions. They will offer free eye check-ups, cataract surgeries, and other treatment services for around 2,000 disadvantaged patients.
