Led by the NGO UOSSM (CH) and photographer Denis Ponté, this project highlights essential humanitarian work in Mozambique in the face of the cataract crisis. More than 830 interventions have changed patients' lives. Four volunteer doctors, supported by foreign experts and a local team, performed up to 60 operations per day.
