What is Trachoma?
Meaning 'rough eye', Trachoma is a highly contagious disease usually seen in underdeveloped countries with poor access to health care and limited education.
HOW TRACHOMA BLINDS
Infections inflame the eyelid
Sores heal and scar
Eyelids turn upwards;
Eyelashes scratch the eye
Over time, this results in Blindness

Face washing is an important
part of the SAFE strategy.
HOW YOU CAN HELP?
