A Vision to Thrive
It’s time to take a moment to reflect on all our accomplishments of the past year – the change we’ve created, the lives we’ve touched, and the communities that now thrive.
As we celebrate this success, we also recognize that none of this would have been possible without the continued support of our generous and caring donors – people like you!
Our 2023 Impact Report highlights just some of our key achievements and major milestones from the past year. We hope you’re just as proud as we are of the far-reaching impact of our collective efforts!
As we move forward in 2024, we remain committed to creating equitable access to quality eye care for all those who need it, regardless of their age, gender or where they live. And our continued focus on providing the best training and support to eye care providers in every corner of the globe is quite literally changing the way the world sees.
Our mission remains strong, and our shared vision will take us boldly forward into a world that still desperately need us – our selfless medical volunteers, our passionate staff, and you, our dedicated donors.
Thank you for continuing to believe in our work. We’re so honoured and proud to share in our collective successes together.
Many thanks,
Lisa McKeen
More than One Billion people on this planet – some as young as just a few days old – live with vision loss or blindness that’s completely treatable or preventable.
While this might be shocking to hear, it’s also what inspires us, gives us hope, and drives our mission. This is a challenge we can tackle – a challenge we must tackle.
In 2023, we continued to strive towards our vision of a world where everyone can access the eye care they need to thrive. Together with our partners and supporters, we’re building strong and sustainable eye care systems that will help transform people’s lives, enrich entire communities, and create a better world.
At Orbis Canada, we work hard to ensure your gifts are used as effectively as possible. The funds we raise help increase access to quality eye care and save sight in the countries where we work. We also invest in the future of the organization to ensure we can continue delivering on our important mission for as long as needed.
Orbis Canada's 2023 Audited Financial Statements
Special Note: At Orbis Canada, (Project Orbis International Inc.), we have developed policies and procedures to ensure all funds raised are used appropriately and ensure the greatest impact in the countries we work. When we fund specific projects, those funds are deemed “restricted” and as such are recorded as “advance payments” up to the point they are spent, as per Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. This can create unusual shifts in program expenses, particularly in years where we raise significant funds – and can impact how the full impact of our efforts is perceived.
