Story

I have been a supporter of Orbis Ireland for many years. This November I am travelling to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to take part in the Great Ethiopian Run, a unique 10k at an altitude of 10,000ft.

After the Run I am travelling to a rural region in southern Ethiopia to witness firsthand the work of Orbis and the impact of the funds raised. In this rural community the cost of a sight saving surgery is as little as €10, so all donations will change lives.  

All funds raised will go directly to Orbis Ireland sight saving project. Sincere thanks for your generosity!

Best wishes

Paul

About the charity

Orbis is a charity working to eliminate avoidable blindness. Shockingly, 75% of all visual impairment can be prevented or treated. That means that nearly 190 million adults and children would be able to see today if they had received surgery, treatment or glasses.
