Research shows 80% of what a child learns is vision-based, but some of those in Gaza are losing their childhood to poor vision and lack of eye care services.

This World Children’s Day, IMANA is committed to supporting the children in Gaza by providing free surgical procedures and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations to help preserve, improve and restore their vision.

The World Children’s Day is a special day celebrated annually on November 20th to promote international togetherness, raise awareness for children’s rights, and improve children’s welfare, marking the adoption of the UN Declaration and Convention on the Rights of the Child. It’s the best day for advocating rights related to them and make a fair world for children to live in.
