Each year on March 8 people around the world celebrate International Women’s Day - an opportunity to reflect on progress towards gender equality and what still needs to be done to create a fairer and more equitable world. At Orbis we know that blindness is a gender issue and are committed to alleviating unequal access to eye care.

Orbis is an international non-profit organization that brings people together in the fight against avoidable blindness. With our network of partners we mentor, train and inspire local teams to save sight in their own communities. We believe that no one should live a life of unnecessary blindness, simply because of where they were born.
