ADDIS Foundation for Community Health  envisions a world where every patient who needs eye care can receive immediate medical treatment with no waiting.  

Training  healthcare professionals ensures sustainable solutions to vision impairments. Healthcare professionals, including nurses, have the opportunity  to advocate for  resources to get to individuals and communities in need. Promotion of good personal hygiene, proper hand washing practice, environmental sanitation, and balanced nutrition, prevents preventable vision loss. 

Education is a powerful  tool to empower our children and adults who are suffering from blindness! Providing them instructional tools (such as white canes and braille materials) and basic necessities (such as food and clothing)  helps them attain skills and training they need to be productive members of society.
