Munali Lions Day Surgery (Cataract) - Vision Care Hospital
Cataract is characterized by the clouding of the eye’s lens and has been found to be a leading cause of blindness.
However, the Lions Club of Munali in partnership with Vision Care Hospital held an eye screening project at Kalingalinga Clinic on Oct 10, 2020 and 11 Patients were selected to undergo Cataract Surgery, which is easily treatable with the corrective surgery.
The Lions Club of Munali and its partner Vision Care managed to offer 11 patients free surgery, but only 5 patients turned up for the surgery on Mar 13, 2021.

Importance and Value of Trees
Since the beginning, trees have furnished us with two of life’s essentials, food and oxygen. As we evolved, they provided additional necessities such as shelter, medicine, and tools.
On Saturday, 13th February, 2021, Lions Club of Munali planted 25 Pine Tress at Mumana Primary School to increase the number of trees and contribute to a sustainable environment in the community.
The School entrance has been lined up with Pine trees that will create a peaceful, aesthetically pleasing environment.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
On 14th November, 2020, the World Diabetes Day campaign focused on promoting the role of nurses in prevention and management of diabetes.
The theme for World Diabetes Day 2020 was "The Nurse and Diabetes." The campaign aimed at raising awareness around the crucial role that nurses play in supporting people living with diabetes. Nurses currently account for over half of the global health workforce.
They do outstanding work to support people living with a wide range of health concerns.
People who either live with diabetes or are at risk of developing the condition need their support too.
People living with diabetes face a number of challenges, and education is vital to equip nurses with the skills to support them. It’s a lot of hard work, but Lions are making an impact all around the world through diabetes events including screenings and awareness events.
The Lions Club of Munali partnered with the Lions Club of Kabulonga, Diabetes Association of Zambia and Lusaka Apex Medical University to help over 200 people get screened at Kabwata Clinic in Lusaka on World Diabetes Day.
Lions on every continent are organizing projects and raising funds in supporting lives through diabetes events in every community. By increasing awareness, we can prevent thousands of people from developing this disease.
Our ongoing support to our communities can reverse the course of prediabetes and help people thrive by making healthy choices. Together, we will make our mark in the fight against diabetes.

100’S OF LUSAKA RESIDENTS TURNED UP FOR A FREE EYE SCREENING AT KALINGLINGA CLINIC
There are millions of people all over the world suffering from vision loss or blindness. Among the common cause of visual impairment is a cataract, the clouding of the lens in the eye.
Although surgery can correct the condition, a lack of access to care has prevented many patients from getting the help they need.
Thanks to Lions Club of Munali, Kabulonga, and Rhodespark in partnership with Vision Care Optician, hundreds of Lusaka Residents had their eyesight checked, and their lives, restored.
Lions Clubs and Vision Care Opticians helped people with visual impairments at Kalingalinga Clinic Lusaka where a Medical Camp was held on the 10th October, 2020. The supporting partner Vision Care performed free Consultations and gave away free glasses from Lions Clubs International.
Leos from Lusaka Apex Medical University also offered free weight checkup, blood pressure, and height during the same Medical Camp.
The residents of Lusaka were educated on eye healthcare and the problems that can be fixed. For those patients over 50 Years who required serious attention were picked up later at Kalingalinga Clinic on the 13th October, 2020 for further free consultation, glasses and Cataract Surgeries through the support of Vision Care hospital.
In Zambia, Lions are still marching on, fulfilling Helen Keller’s challenge to be Knights of the Blind. Through SightFirst and other initiatives, Lions are building eye hospitals, offering medical training, educating people about eye healthcare, performing eye screenings and making cataract surgeries possible to those in need. These efforts will continue—until preventable blindness is a distant memory.
