Please give now before we reach Rwanda—every moment counts!
Thank you for being a part of this life-changing project.

Hi Friend
Right now, our team is preparing for something truly extraordinary—Orbis International’s first-ever ophthalmic training project in Rwanda on board our Flying Eye Hospital!
Our team is getting ready for takeoff—but we urgently need your help before we land in Kigali on July 21st to make this project a success.
Your gift will provide sight-saving care to children and families, while building the skills of local eye care teams, raising awareness about eye health, and expanding access to care across Rwanda.
Rwanda is home to over 13 million people, yet millions still live without the eye care they need to succeed in school, find fulfilling work, and provide for their families.
There are only 30 ophthalmologists in the entire country—that’s only one qualified eye care doctor for every 433,000 people.
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in Rwanda and can be treated with a simple surgery, yet many people who need treatment won’t receive it without intervention.
With your generosity, this Flying Eye Hospital trip will create lasting change for children and adults in Rwanda.
