Believers Loveworld Inc. : Vision 10,000—Transforming lives with Free Eye Surgeries across Nigeria
The Loveworld Medical Missions and Services, through its various initiatives, is transforming lives by enhancing healthcare access for the underprivileged. Central to its efforts is the ambitious “Vision 10,000” initiative, launched by Believers’ Loveworld Christ Embassy under Pastor Dr. Chris Oyakhilome. This project aims to provide free eye surgeries, particularly cataract procedures, to 10,000 individuals in need across Nigeria. By tackling preventable blindness and raising awareness about eye health, Vision 10,000 not only restores sight but also empowers communities, fostering hope and improving overall quality of life.
Believers’ Loveworld Inc. (Christ Embassy Church), the influential Christian ministry led by Pastor Dr Chris Oyakhilome DSC DSC DD, has officially launched an ambitious initiative named “Vision 10,000,” aimed at providing free eye surgeries to 10,000 individuals in need across the Nation.
The Loveworld Medical Missions and Services is committed to promoting health and impacting lives through the projects and initiatives of its executive arms; the Trauma Care International Foundation (TCIF) , the Volunteer Medical Corps (VMC), Loveworld Community Clinics and the Loveworld Medical Centre.
Both the TCIF and VMC are member agencies of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International and they have impacted the lives of millions around the world through various medical and humanitarian projects.
Through the Loveworld Medicaid, Lifesaver EQUIP and Loveworld Community Clinics, partners and stakeholders of the LMMS have achieved significant impact in improving the health outcomes for so many who are less privileged.
This project underscores the church’s commitment to humanitarian efforts and its mission to enhance the quality of life for those suffering from vision impairments.
The Vision 10,000 initiative primarily focuses on offering free cataract surgeries and other essential eye treatments to individuals who cannot afford such medical care.
By tackling preventable blindness, the initiative seeks to empower beneficiaries to regain their sight and improve their overall quality of life.
“We believe that everyone deserves access to healthcare, especially when it comes to something as vital as sight,” said a spokesperson for the church.
According to the World Health Organization, over 2.7 million people in Nigeria suffer from visual impairment, with cataracts being a leading cause (WHO, 2021).
In addition to medical care, Vision 10,000 aims to raise awareness about eye health.
Through outreach programs, the initiative educates communities on the importance of regular eye check-ups and timely intervention for vision problems, fostering a culture of health consciousness.

The church is also distributing informational materials that detail the signs of common eye conditions and the importance of early treatment.
Vision 10,000 operates in collaboration with a network of medical professionals, hospitals, and clinics to ensure safe and effective surgeries.
Christ Embassy mobilizes resources, including funding and healthcare personnel, to reach underserved populations, particularly in areas with limited access to medical facilities.
The initiative includes not only surgical procedures but also pre-operative assessments and post-operative care to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
Believers’ Loveworld Inc. Christ Embassy has partnered with various eye care organizations and NGOs, such as the Sight Savers Foundation, to broaden its reach and enhance the quality of care provided.
These collaborations enable the initiative to leverage expertise and resources, ensuring that beneficiaries receive comprehensive care.
The initiative has already seen positive outcomes, with many beneficiaries sharing heartfelt testimonials about the life-changing impact of the surgeries.
One recipient stated, “Regaining my sight has allowed me to return to work and support my family. I am forever grateful for this opportunity.”
Another beneficiary expressed, “Before the surgery, I struggled with daily tasks’. Now, I can see my children’s faces clearly again.”

Such stories highlight the profound social impact of the Minsitry’s initiative, showcasing how restoring sight can transform lives and uplift families.
To further engage the community, Vision 10,000 has hosted health fairs and awareness campaigns across various regions, offering free eye screenings and consultations.
These events aim to reach more individuals who may be unaware of their eye health issues and encourage them to seek help.
Looking ahead, the church plans to expand the initiative beyond eye surgeries to include comprehensive health checks, targeting other prevalent health issues in the community.
By broadening its scope, Vision 10,000 aspires to become a holistic health initiative that addresses multiple health concerns.
Vision 10,000 exemplifies Believers’ Loveworld Christ Embassy’s dedication to philanthropy and social responsibility.
By providing free eye surgeries, the initiative not only restores sight but also uplifts entire communities, fostering hope and a brighter future for thousands.
As the project continues to expand, it serves as a powerful reminder of the role faith-based organizations can play in addressing critical social issues.
