The vision that transforms lives
“What are we really doing”
About the project
The Aldeia em Foco project was created by the Suel Abujamra Institute after an expedition to a remote area of Brazil to serve indigenous peoples. During this expedition, we realized that simply reaching the base center near the villages wasn't enough; it was essential to reach the villages directly, as indigenous people face significant mobility difficulties, and roads often don't allow easy access.
Aldeia em Foco is an innovative project that aims to revolutionize the visual health of these communities through an innovative ophthalmological care model. Using portable equipment and teleophthalmology, we aim to ensure that more people have access to quality ophthalmological care, overcoming geographic and logistical barriers.
Our impact
Visual health is one of humankind's most valuable assets. Through vision, we connect with over 60% of the external world, making it one of our most important and enriching senses. The Aldeia em Foco Project aims to transform the lives of thousands of people and raise awareness about the importance of this essential asset.
To date, we have reached thousands of Indigenous people across Brazil, providing them with access to quality eye care and helping to preserve their vision and quality of life.
