ORBIS helps those developing countries by providing sight-saving training. It has taught over 35,000 doctors and nurses. They continue to treat thousands of blind people every year. They have traveled around the earth 3 times, visited 76 countries and treated over 20, 000 blind people. They need your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.

For just $38, you can help one person see； for $ 380 you can bring sight to 10 people； $ 1，300 helps train a doctor new skills； and for $ 13, 000 you can provide a training program for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again.
