Changing the Way the World Sees

Transforming lives through the prevention and treatment of blindness.

Orbis Ireland is focused on one major project; to eliminate trachoma in the Gamo Gofa, Derashe, Konso and Dawuro regions of southern Ethiopia, which are among the country’s poorest and worst affected by avoidable blindness.

Our mission is to use our amazing network of partners, supporters, staff and sector leading volunteers to empower local communities with the skills and resources necessary to fight blindness on their own. We work alongside eye teams in communities to provide training and guidance to leave a long-term eye care legacy that will restore vision for generations to come.
