Yola DisCo Offers Free Eye Surgery, Medication To Communities

In a heartwarming display of corporate social responsibility, the Mainstream Foundation, in partnership with Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC), has brought hope and healing to countless residents of Yola metropolis through a free eye clinic medical outreach.

The initiative, which offered free eye surgeries, medication, and consultancy services, was a beacon of joy for individuals who had long struggled with vision problems, but couldn’t afford the cost of treatment and follow up medication.Speaking on the programme, Zayyanu Illo, Programme Manager at Mainstream Foundation, said, “The Eye Clinic Medical Outreach has become a hallmark of our health interventions. And since YEDC is an organization under Quest Electricity, a subsidiary of Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited (MESL), we felt it was time to come and visit Yola metropolis with our team of specialized doctors.”

The outreach programme was a resounding success, with numerous beneficiaries expressing gratitude to Mainstream Foundation and YEDC for bringing world-class medical care to their doorstep.”I had almost lost hope of ever seeing clearly again, but thanks to this programme, I can now see my grandchildren’s smiles,” beamed Aisha Umar, a grateful beneficiary.The initiative underscores the commitment of Mainstream Foundation and YEDC to enhancing the well-being of communities in the region, and serves as a shining example of the positive impact that corporate entities can have on society.As the beneficiaries returned to their homes with renewed hope and vision, the community came together to express their heartfelt appreciation to Mainstream Foundation and YEDC for their kindness and generosity.
