Orbis Ireland Focus on Ethiopia
Since 2007, Orbis Ireland has focused its support on a comprehensive eye care project across 26 districts within the SNNP region of Ethiopia. We work to tackle the leading causes of avoidable blindness - trachoma, cataract and refractive error - in a region of 3.4 million people.

Eye Care Everywhere
Orbis believes nobody should be blind from avoidable causes, and we want everybody, everywhere, to be able to get eye treatment when they need it, regardless of who they are or where they live. So help Orbis prevent avoidable blindness and protect the sight of some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
Orbis Global Mission and Values
We are an international non-profit bringing people together to fight avoidable blindness. With our network of partners we mentor, train and inspire local teams to save sight in their own communities.
Stories From Ethiopia
Teshager's Story
Six-year-old Teshager never got up in the morning like other children in his town. He didn’t play with other kids or go to school either. The pain in his eyes and not being able to see well was affecting his ability to thrive. For Teshager and his family, the future was full of uncertainties – this is, until he received treatment for his trachoma.
Belay's Story
Belay suffered excruciating pain in her right eye. As time passed, the pain grew and her vision worsened. In December 2020 Belay had an eye evaluation at an Orbis-supported health center which led to sight-saving surgery, just in time. See how the kindness of supporters like you changed her life forever.
Kusse's Story
