Bus of hope

For disabled people

We provide ophthalmological care to people with disabilities aged 6 to 54, improving their quality of life through specialized consultations, the provision of glasses, and other visual supports. With this program, we aim to break down barriers and promote their autonomy, allowing them to fully integrate into education, work, and society.

For children's view

We firmly believe that taking care of children's eyesight from an early age is to give them an invaluable opportunity: discover the world clearly and without barriers. Detecting visual problems at an early time allows us to provide the necessary medical attention before they irreversibly affect their development and quality of life. Therefore, at Kantutani Foundation, we have made children's visual health one of our priorities, promoting solidarity programs for donation of personalized glasses, tailored to the needs of each child.

For senior adults

In many rural communities, aging means watching the world fade away little by little. For thousands of elderly adults, the loss of vision has meant a separation from their families, their daily activities, and the life they once enjoyed. Without access to medical care, their visual capacity has deteriorated without a solution... until now. Thanks to our campaigns, we not only restore their sight but also their hope. Through visual measurements and the donation of glasses, we help them reconnect with their loved ones, regain their autonomy, and live with greater dignity. Because seeing well is not a privilege, it is a right.

Forging new perspectives

Kantutani Foundation, committed to the continuous improvement of visual health in Bolivia, has identified the urgent need to strengthen and update the training of Bolivian doctors with an Ophthalmology degree, with at least three (3) years of professional experience. In response to this reality, the Foundation takes on the commitment to contribute to the development of their surgical skills through cutting-edge techniques, through the financing of the Cataract Surgery Training Program using the phacoemulsification technique.
This program is oriented to ophthalmologists who want to enhance their skills and provide higher quality care to the Bolivian population, in partnership with Oftalmo University and IFGG Ophthalmology in Mexico City, recognized international reference centers in ophthalmological training.

Bus of hope

In the most remote corners of Bolivia, where resources are scarce and ophthalmological care is practically nonexistent, the Bus of Hope becomes a symbol of light and transformation. As the country's first mobile ophthalmic operating room, this program is born with a clear mission: to reduce avoidable blindness and provide a second chance to those who have lost their sight due to cataracts. Through free surgeries, we reach the most vulnerable rural communities, where many people have spent years living in darkness without access to a solution. Each journey of the Bus of Hope not only restores sight but also restores independence, dignity, and hope for a better future for hundreds of Bolivians and their families. Because seeing the world should not be a privilege but a right for all.
