Give a major gift to a specific project
Our work is only possible thanks to Orbis’s incredible supporters. We appreciate all donations, big or small, but by giving a major gift you can play a key role in helping us build a robust eye care legacy that will one day help eliminate avoidable blindness for good and transform lives.

PROPOSED PROJECTS
SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA
Since 2002, Orbis Ethiopia has offered medical treatment to 25 million people. To reduce the prevalence of trachoma, we need to develop new standards for delivering antibiotic to 10 million people in end 2020 and ensure the program is COVID-19 safe. Additional funding is urgently needed, or progress could be set back two years.

CYBERSIGHT – TELEMEDICINE PLATFORM
Despite progress in global fight against blindness, the no. of blind people could triple by 2050! The pandemic is further constraining Orbis’s sight-saving mission, technology could be the answer. We created Cybersight in 2002, that enables our expert volunteers to support eyecare teams in places where physical presence isn't possible.
BANGLADESH
There are 750,000 blind people in Bangladesh. This project is taking a revolutionary, multi-disciplinary approach to combat avoidable blindness. Setting up primary eye care centers in rural remote areas with tele-eye health connectivity to district base eye hospitals has found to be an effective model to reach patients.
INDIA
9.6 million children are blind or visually impaired, 50% of blindness among children is avoidable. This project aims to reduce uncorrected refractive errors for children by using the proven REACH - Refractive Error Among Children - methodology. Clear vision will enable students to continue their academics and change life!
SHANDONG, CHINA
Due to shortage of ophthalmologists in rural areas, lack of systematic approach to eye care training, and lack of proper outreach, this project aims to establish a national center of excellence at Lunan Eye Hospital (LEH) to address the dire need for hands-on training in ophthalmology residency programs in China.

MONGOLIA
The project aims to strengthen the technical and clinical skills of nurses and neonatologists to utilize equipment for oxygen management in order to prevent retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), build surgical capacity for management of ROP and trauma, and extend refractive and ROP services to aimags.

SHANGHAI & NINGXIA, CHINA
Myopia is the most common public health problem among children. It affects the future of our next generation. Hence, a comprehensive child eye health network in Ningxia Western China twinned with a national pediatric eye care training center in Shanghai will be established to improve children’s learning capability.
