A community fundraising initiative has helped 11 senior citizens regain their sight through free cataract surgeries in Johannesburg.
The event, called A Night for Sight, was organised by Hello Poppy in support of the Eye Wish Foundation. The campaign originally aimed to fund four operations but raised enough to help 11 patients.

Cape Town charity helps nearly 200 families through free shopping day
Story 2
Nearly 200 families in Cape Town received essential clothing, bedding, shoes and household items during the 9Miles Project's latest Community CAB Day.
The quarterly initiative allows families to choose the items they need at no cost, creating a dignified shopping experience instead of a traditional donation drive.
Hosted in Strandfontein, the event also provided warm meals, with support from businesses, volunteers and community partners helping almost every donated item find a new home.
The 9Miles Project says the initiative forms part of its ongoing work to support vulnerable families in coastal communities through food relief, education and skills development.
