The Rotary Club of Montserrat launched the “See Our Islands Better” Project on Monday February 2nd, 2026.
The project is a humanitarian initiative designed to improve the quality of life of vulnerable and under-served individuals through access to essential eye care services and prescription eyeglasses.
At the opening ceremony, president of the Rotary Club of Montserrat, Audris Jno-Baptiste, shared more details on this project.
Ms Jno-Baptiste noted the list of eye care services to be provided, as well as the visiting professionals who are on island. She also expressed appreciation to the Ministry of Health and Social Services for their support of this Rotary Initiative.
The clinic will run until February 6th, 2026, at the St. Peter’s Clinic.
Beyond the immediate benefits to residents, the project also aims to strengthen community awareness about eye health and the importance of preventive care.
Rotary’s partnership-driven approach ensures accountability, transparency, and the effective use of resources. Additionally, the equipment, expertise, and experience gained through this initiative will support future outreach efforts and continued regional collaboration.
Meantime, Minister for Health, Dr. the Honourable Ingrid Buffonge, welcomed the team to Montserrat and expressed hope for future collaborations.
