Thanks to people like you, Orbis-trained medical professionals are delivering the very best eye care in their communities. And with healthy sight, more children are receiving an education. More mothers and fathers are able to support their families. More communities are thriving.
Yet despite our progress, an estimated 253 million people in the world are still blind or visually impaired, including 19 million children — an overwhelming 75% from preventable causes.
That’s why we're urging our supporters to reaffirm your commitment to ending preventable blindness.
Together we will break down the obstacles that keep our world’s most vulnerable people from receiving the eye care they need.
