Okimo - Making the invisible, visible

It's fantastic to be able to pitch to HRH Duke of York's pitch@palace

Okimo's pilot is taking place in Paraguay's Chaco region.

90% of kids we tested never had a visual screening before and about a quarter of them were found having visual problems.

Most were 15-16 years old, so they have been carrying their visual challenges to school for almost 10 years!

Education starts with visual health.
