Like so many other charities, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Orbis in carrying out our projects on the ground globally. Patients with critical eye diseases cannot wait for the pandemic to be over in order to have their eyes treated.
In response to this urgent need, we’ve created the COVID-19 Emergency Vision Fund to raise funds for essential Orbis programs that are now in jeopardy – programs that provide critical eye care for babies and children, their parents and the elderly who are even more vulnerable now than ever before.
