This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities we operate in.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this initiative, we contributed to the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment valued at R15 million to support HFTB\u2019s efforts in addressing preventable blindness. Though cataracts can be treated through a relatively simple surgical procedure, thousands remain visually impaired due to lack of access to specialised care.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the upgraded facility was attended by several dignitaries, including Former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, who acknowledged the importance of collective action in transforming lives.<\/p>\n<p>HFTB is an independent, non-profit eye surgery unit dedicated to improving access to quality eye care for the visually impaired and socio-economically disadvantaged residents of Limpopo and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative is a shining example of what\u2019s possible when sectors work together to drive change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2
