Orbis is a leading global non-governmental organization that has worked to transform lives through the prevention and treatment of blindness for over 35 years. With our network of partners, we mentor, train and inspire local teams so they can save sight in their communities.
Orbis is headquartered in the U.S., operates 15 international offices, and has worked in over 90 countries since 1982. Alongside local hospitals, universities, government agencies and ministries of health, Orbis provides hands-on ophthalmology training, strengthens healthcare infrastructure and advocates for the prioritization of eye health on public health agendas.
Orbis operates the world’s only Flying Eye Hospital, a fully accredited ophthalmic teaching hospital on board an MD-10 aircraft. It is a teacher, envoy and advocate that brings world-class training and much needed attention to eye health around the world.
Our third-generation Flying Eye Hospital has been made possible through the tremendous support, passion and input of our partners and donors. It is a powerful fusion of medical and aviation technology and would not have been possible without the passion and financial support of all our generous donors and our global partners, including FedEx, who donated the aircraft to us.

Following on from the high level of interest in the WAEH 2018 conference theme of eye health philanthropy, WAEH is pleased that a group of experienced philanthropy practitioners drawn from WAEH members are going to run a philanthropy workshop as part of WAEH 2019 at Moorfields.
The workshop will be led by: Libby Bryce Bell, Senior Director of Development, Wilmer Eye Institute, John Hopkins University; Robert Dufton, Chief Executive, Moorfields Eye Charity and Honorary Visiting Fellow, Centre for Charity Effectiveness, Cass Business School, City, University of London; Rachel Jones, Director of Development, Moorfields Eye Charity; and Patrik Malmungar, Fundraising Manager, St Erik Eye Hospital, Sweden and formerly at international fundraising consultants Brakeley Nordic.
The workshop is for up to 40 representatives of WAEH members. It will be participatory in nature, and organised as a “world café” so delegates in groups will rotate to cover each of the four topics. The allocation of participants to groups will be done to ensure the most practical learning sessions.
The suggested topics are:
Workshop participants will be asked to agree in advance to become part of an ongoing, online WAEH Fundraising community of practice.
