Global Eye Mission (GEM) is an international mission organization based in Eden Prairie, MN, dedicated to bringing the life-changing gift of sight to under-served populations around the world. Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, GEM develops clinical and surgical eye services in regions where access to eye care is limited. Through local and international partnerships, GEM works towards the long-term goal of establishing high-quality eye care for the poor, helping to combat avoidable blindness and improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. GEM focuses on developing self-sustaining medical and surgical eye units in various countries, such as Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, Gabon, Peru, Central Asia, Niger, Burundi, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. By expanding the capabilities of existing eye services, training community eye health workers, and providing medical supplies and equipment, GEM aims to address the global challenge of blindness and visual impairment, particularly in developing countries where the majority of visually impaired individuals reside.Generated from the website
