Donate Money

Together with us, you can donate to charity and change lives with your gift of sight. Simply donate online, or donate money via mobile wallets, mail, phone or credit card. You can also set up a monthly donation plan, or make a single charitable donation as you wish.

Orbis is an international eye care non-profit organization that transforms lives around the world by preventing and treating avoidable blindness. All funds you make as donations in Hong Kong to us will help strengthen our international sight-restoration efforts. Also, if you donate money, it will enable us to continue expanding much-needed professional medical training and eye care education programs to better help those in need.

In fact, 75% of all visual impairment could be effectively treated or prevented. With 2.2 billion people visually impaired or blind around the world, that's around 1 billion people who should be able to see if they can receive proper glasses or surgery - the privilege of eye care services that many simply take for granted. With your kind support in charitable donations, the Orbis volunteer medical team can further help build up the resources and specific skills needed to deliver quality eye care service in hard-pressed regions around the globe, and help ensure no one loses their sight just because of where they are living, or where they were born.

Donations in HK - How Does Orbis Work?

Despite the availability of good treatments and advancements in eye care technology, access to eye care remains a challenge for many people in Hong Kong and abroad. A large number of individuals cannot afford proper treatment, and many of them aren't even aware of vision impairment issues.

At Orbis, we are committed to raising awareness about preventable blindness in Hong Kong and other parts of the world. From radio broadcasts to film screenings, we use a variety of approaches to reach numerous people and educate them about preventable blindness.

We also make charitable donations to many local charities that are offering financial and other kinds of assistance to eye patients. We collect funds through various activities and make donations in Hong Kong to eradicate preventable blindness one donation at a time.

Donate to charity in a fast, simple, one-off fashion can already make a significant difference in bringing hope of sight to the blind. You can also make a positive difference in the lives of people who continue to battle with vision impairment.
