臺灣防盲基金會正式成為IAPB的成員！
致親愛的捐款人與支持者：我很榮幸地向大家宣佈：臺灣防盲基金會正式成為國際指標性的防盲組織——The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness（IAPB）的一員。
IAPB是由超過200個眼科相關組織組成的全球型聯盟，協作重要國際防盲及倡議活動，致力於推動全球眼睛健康。
這個重要的里程碑，不僅象徵著我們在國際眼科服務上的努力和成就，更是我們未來展望的全新起點！
我們的國際防盲使命
臺灣防盲基金會不僅致力於臺灣偏鄉的眼科服務工作，也積極在國際上推動防盲服務。自2017年起，我們在尼泊爾和緬甸兩國展開了國際防盲救盲專案，連結當地服務組織，推動義診、衛教及照明改善服務，迄今已服務超過2萬名民眾。
我們深知這些服務對當地社區的重要性，幫助他們重見光明、改善生活。未來，我們也期許在加入IAPB後，能拓展國際服務領域，與國際夥伴組織攜手合作，分享資源和最佳實踐，進一步提升我們的服務影響力，促進全球眼睛健康的發展。
讓我們攜手並進，共同防盲護眼，守護看得見的權利！

Dear Donors and Supporters,
I am honored to announce that Taiwan Prevent Blindness Foundation has officially become a member of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB).
IAPB is a global alliance composed of over 200 organizations, working together on crucial international blindness prevention and advocacy activities, dedicated to promoting global eye health.
This significant milestone not only symbolizes our efforts and achievements in international ophthalmic services but also marks a new beginning for our future aspirations!
Our Mission for International Eye Health
Taiwan Prevent Blindness Foundation is dedicated not only to providing eye care services in rural Taiwan but also to promoting blindness prevention services internationally. Since 2017, we have launched international eye care projects in Nepal and Myanmar, partnering with local service organizations to conduct free eye camps, health education, and lighting improvement services. To date, we have served over 20,000 people.
We deeply understand the importance of these services to local communities, helping them regain their sight and improve their lives. In the future, we hope that joining IAPB will allow us to expand our international service, collaborate with international partner organizations, share resources and best practices, and further enhance our service impact, contributing to the development of global eye health.
