Orbis
ORBIS is a nonprofit, global development organization whose mission is to eliminate
avoidable blindness in developing countries. How do we do this? By strengthening
the capacity of our local eye health partners to prevent and treat avoidable blindness.
Through
capacity building, our partners gain self-sufficiency in providing
quality eye care, and residents enjoy quality treatment that is affordable, accessible
and sustainable.
Tagesech Teshome, an eye care teacher
in Ethiopia, gives an eye exam.
Capacity building encompasses:
- Clinical training
- Technical assistance
- Institutional development
- Community education
- Behavioral change
- Health care reform
