Story

This September, Orbis Ireland is setting a new challenge - Swim for Sight. By supporting the Swim for Sight Challenge, you will enable Orbis Ireland to continue our mission to prevent avoidable blindness. This year due to COVID-19 our fundraising events have been cancelled which means our funds raised are very low. In order to continue our Sight Saving work in Ethiopia we need great people like you to Swim for Sight this September. Your support at this time will mean that we can continue to provide emergency surgeries and it will also help ensure that we will have the funds available to clear long waiting lists when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Orbis are currently helping with the COVID-19 response by providing essential supplies to our partner hospitals and by distributing key COVID-19 messages to communities in rural Ethiopia. Your support will enable us to continue to support the COVID-19 response in Ethiopia at this time. Thank you!
