OneSight Zambia Job Vacancy: Driver

Organization Background

OneSight Zambia is an International NGO funded by OneSight (USA) and supports eye care worldwide.

OneSight’s vision is to have a world where access to vision care is no longer a barrier to human potential and its purpose being fueling people’s potential by helping them see clearly.

OneSight Zambia is employing a sustainable model that provides permanent access to affordable and high-quality vision care to Zambians through working with MOH.
