Our Story

Driven by Compassion, Restoring Vision.

Ukubona Foundation was established in 2017 as a passionate extension of what Kelzmo Eyecare seeks to achieve: giving back to previously disadvantaged communities. Recognizing that vision health is a critical factor in a child’s ability to learn, we dedicated our mission to primary schools across South Africa's townships and rural sectors.
