Help even more children like Meskenem

By Diane Weatherup | Development Director

Meskenem is 4 years old and suffers with trachoma
Meskenem is 4 years old and suffers with trachoma

Meskenem is just four years old. Her eyes are red-rimmed, teary, and she rubs them constantly. Tragically, she has suffered like this for a year.

Orbis is working to free children, like Meskenem, from pain, suffering and the threat of blindness. Through providing surgeries, distributing antibiotics, teaching communities about the importance of facial cleanliness and, of course, improving the water supply - Orbis is eliminating blinding diseases.  

For this week only, your donation to Orbis could go even further. You could help even more children like Meskenem. Children who are suffering unimaginable pain and discomfort. Children at immediate risk of blindness Ethiopia. Children with trachoma.

From today until Friday, donate to Orbis through GlobalGiving's Little by Little Campaign and every donation up to $50 will be matched at 50%.

Relieving Meskenem from pain will not only enable her to see again, but she will be able to return to school, play with her friends and have the childhood that everyone deserves.

Thank you for your support.
