EYES ON ETHIOPIA - a photography exhibition

When: Tuesday 8th June, 2021

From 8 June-8 July, Orbis is hosting a virtual photography exhibition - Eyes on Ethiopia. This exhibition displays the spectacular photographs by many of the photographers who joined Orbis in Ethiopia over the years. The exhibition also includes some amateur photographs, by a select few of our very talented participants in the Great Ethiopian Run.

RUN 20/20

Run 20/20 is a virtual challenge that brings your employees together, while staying apart. Employees are asked to run or walk for at least 20 minutes for 20 days across one month in 2021.

Host your own fundraising event!

Whether it’s a quiz night, bake sale, dress up day or ultra-sporting challenges, you can host your own fundraising event, whether at school, at work or with friends. Every euro you raise helps to prevent avoidable blindness in Ethiopia.

Four Peaks Challenge - Ireland

We are setting the challenge to conquer the highest peaks across the four provinces of Ireland throughout 2021. You have all year to do it – How many will you climb?

SWIM FOR SIGHT

For 2021 Orbis Ireland is setting you the challenge to Swim for Sight. You choose where you swim and how far you swim each day. Whether it’s once off, once a week or once a day- whatever your level, set your target. All Orbis asks of you is that you take the plunge this year.

HELL & BACK, Ireland’s Toughest Mental & Physical Endurance Challenge, is the country’s largest and most popular obstacle course run. Join Orbis Ireland during the Hell and Back challenge in Kilruddery Gardens, Co Wicklow on Saturday September 11th and take on this adventure challenge.
