The Rotary Club of Orinda, California, USA and the Rotary Club of Livingstone, Zambia are applying for a Global Grant of $140,000 to increase the capacity of the International Vision Volunteers (IVV) Zimba Eye Clinic in rural Zambia. The goal is to provide eye care for the people of Zambia and other countries year round rather than intermittently during eye camps.
Grant funds will be used1) To install solar panels at the IVV Zimba Eye Clinic to provide reliable, efficient power year round better to serve the 
patients. Without a multifaceted power solution that includes solar panels, the eye clinic’s power supply is unreliable with an overreliance on diesel fuel that is expensive and time consuming to procure. 2)To upgrade medical equipment for the full time clinical staff at IVVto improve medical care for the patients of the IVV Zimba Eye Clinic. 3) Topurchase clinical reference materials for the IVV Rotary Libraryfor the IVV staff to help them stay current with newest methods to improve patient care. This clinical research space and subscriptions to the latest medical references available in the existing IVV RotaryLibrary will help improve care for the eye clinic patients. The container used to ship the medical equipment and the solar panels will be used in Zimba possibly as an additional structure to expand the IVV Rotary Library.

In 2001, Rotarians built the eye clinic in Zimba, near Livingstone. IVV staff now includes a full time local ophthalmologist, Dr. Brighton Samoyo, and local clinical staff including an ophthalmic nurse, Clever Nasil, to care for patients. Four to five times each year, IVV
volunteer medical professionals from the US and Canada organize medical missions (“eye camps”) to care for patients who otherwise would go without vision services. Each year these volunteers evaluate and treat approximately 2000-3000 patients and perform 300-400 eye surgeries, the most common of which is cataract surgery. IVV also provides medical treatment of common eye diseases that can cause blindness, such as glaucoma, and eye trauma due to injuries and accidents.
