Preventing vision loss shouldn’t be a gender issue — and yet globally there are 112 million more women than men living with vision loss, including blindness.
As a member of the Orbis team, I strongly believe that gender shouldn’t impact anyone’s ability to access quality eye care. I know you do too, Friend.
Your gift, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact on the lives of millions. After all, a brighter future for women is a brighter future for the planet.
Gratefully,

Hi Friend,
As the only eye care nonprofit delivering sight-saving programs in over 200 countries and territories, Orbis International is on a mission to save sight around the world—regardless of gender.
A staggering 90% of vision loss is treatable or preventable. But there are still over 1 billion people living with some form of vision loss—and the majority of them are girls and women.
