Headline and summary by local AI
President Hakainde Hichilema launched the HH Vision 100,000 Programme to provide free spectacles to vulnerable people in Zambia.
The president announced the initiative on his Facebook page on Saturday. He stated that over six million Zambians require glasses, noting that one in five children cannot see the blackboard clearly and nearly one in three adults live with poor vision.
The programme aims to distribute 100,000 free spectacles to families to ensure that poor vision does not prevent people from participating in society. Hichilema urged Zambians who face eyesight challenges and cannot afford medical care to visit their nearest health facility for more information.
