The exercise which ended over the weekend had targeted Kenyans with eyesight issues and not financially equipped to manage their eyes.
While making a contribution towards the exercise, Crown Paints Group Head of Sales Bhavesh Gandhi noted that such initiative was as part of Crown Paints’ transformation agenda to positively impact lives in communities.
“As a transformative company, we’re proud to be part of this initiative which is aimed at enhancing customer’s sight by facilitating cataract surgery treatment so that they are able to see different shades of colour and beauty around them,” he added.
