Mexico

From 1994 until 2006, HKI worked in Mexico primarily supporting the parastatal organization Ver Bien Para Aprender Mejor (See Well to Learn Better) to implement a school-based refractive error program in Oaxaca State and a pediatric cataract and low vision program in Mexico City.

The program, which received most of its funding from USAID, included strategies for its sustainability. HKI exited the country after having helped Ver Bien establish the necessary systems and capacity to sustain the continuation of the programs.
