The Power of Our Partners - 2023 Annual General Meeting

Join us in person or by zoom!

We invite you and the Seva Canada community to join us at our 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on November 17, to celebrate the successes of the past year, and look forward to the work ahead. We will be taking the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the leadership of our program partners, whose vision and expertise are what allow your donations to make the impact they do. 

Our special guest this year is Peter Kileo from the Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology (KCCO).

Please help us welcome Peter, and hear about all the ways your continued support goes to work in Africa, resulting in lives transformed through the power of sight. 
Peter's program mentorship in community ophthalmology is fundamental to the delivery of our mission: connecting people living needlessly with vision loss with the services that will restore their sight. We are thrilled to host Peter in Vancouver and connect him with you, our incredible donors who make it all possible!
