Chima Anyaso Foundation Champions Massive 5-Day Free Eye Outreach in Bende. Day 2

Leading philanthropist and visionary of the Ofuji Movement, Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyaso, has once again demonstrated his commitment to grassroots welfare with the successful launch of a high-impact, five-day free eye medical outreach in Bende Local Government Area.

The initiative, which began on Monday, May 4, at the Ofuji Resource Centre (Igbere Junction), recorded an overwhelming Day One turnout, signaling a critical intervention for residents struggling with preventable vision impairment.

For Dr. Anyaso, recently honored as the 2026 Silverbird Trailblazer, this outreach is a continuation of his “Time to Accelerate” mandate. Moving beyond mere rhetoric, the Chima Anyaso Foundation —in strategic partnership with Rebirth Ministry and the Precious Sight Foundation—has converted the Ofuji Resource Centre into a hub of medical excellence.

The program offers:

• Comprehensive Eye Screenings: Professional diagnostic assessments for all attendees.
• Corrective Eyewear: Distribution of free reading and prescription glasses.
• Specialized Consultations: Expert advice for chronic eye conditions.

Reflecting Dr. Anyaso’s meticulous approach to community service, the foundation has eliminated the barrier of distance by providing free transportation for residents across all 13 wards of the Bende Federal Constituency.

“Good health should not be a luxury reserved for those who can afford the trip to the city,” noted a spokesperson for the Ofuji Movement. “Dr. Anyaso’s directive was clear: reach the people where they are and bring them to the care they deserve.”

The transport schedule follows a structured ward-by-ward rotation, ensuring that residents from Igbere, Item, Alayi, Uzuakoli, and other communities have equal and organized access to the medical team throughout the week.

While the outreach is a private-sector initiative, Dr. Anyaso has emphasized its alignment with the administrative goals of Governor Dr. Alex Otti. By securing full state government approval, the program serves as a model for how private philanthropy can complement public health infrastructure to deliver immediate results.

Community stakeholders have been quick to praise Anyaso’s consistency. Following his recent ₦20 million empowerment grant to Bende women and his extensive 13-ward Lenten tour, this eye outreach cements his reputation as a leader whose primary focus remains the human capital development of his people.

As the Sun set on Day One, the atmosphere in Bende was one of profound gratitude. With four days remaining (concluding Friday, May 8), the outreach is expected to restore the sight—and the livelihoods—of thousands.

For the people of Bende, the message is clear: through the Chima Anyaso Foundation, the “Time to Accelerate” isn’t just a slogan—it is a visible, life-changing reality.
