History

In 2010 Peter, Marson, an optometrist by profession, joined Jim Partridge, Senior Pastor of The King’s Church Mid-Sussex, to a conference in Meru, Kenya. While there, Peter was deeply moved by the widespread poverty and total lack of affordable eye care facilities for the majority of the local people around Meru.

 

Over the next couple of years, a deeper relationship was established with the Kambakia Christian Centre in Meru, Kenya, and in particular with the pastor of that church, Bishop Edward Buria (Founder of Edfri International NGO). Through this partnership, SeeKenya were given the opportunity to establish a base for the clinic and outreach work at Isiome Hope Centre in Meru, leading us to become a registered charity in 2013.

 

We run twice yearly trips to Kenya with up to 15 volunteers, seeing up to 2,500 patients a year. But we know we can do more. So we are building a permanent clinic at Isiome Hope Centre. A permanent clinic will be able to serve over 21,600 patients a year (a tenfold increase), making a real impact in Kenya for the generations to come. ​​
