Ensuring Girls in Ethiopia Receive Basic Eye Care

Summary
In Ethiopia, more women than men are blind due to eye diseases such as trachoma. This blinding eye disease is spread from child to mother through direct personal contact. Without treatment, trachoma leads to blindness. It's a sad reality that 50% of children who go blind in Ethiopia, will die within two years. Orbis is working to change this by eliminating this disease in Ethiopia. With your help, Orbis will ensure the next generation of women and girls grow up without the threat of blindness.
