Trachoma Campaign

Sandi Fulcher —

3 trailers have been built in total which is great news. And they have been designed and produced in relatively short space of time.

Trachoma: a bacterial eye infection, which inflames and scars the inner surface of the eyelids during childhood. 

Repeated trachoma infections over years can cause a person’s eyelids to turn inwards from all the scarring, causing the eyelashes to rub on the clear cornea (trichiasis). The continual rubbing causes a lot of pain and inflammation of the cornea which becomes cloudy from more scarring until vision is impaired or lost.
