ABOUT

International Vision Organization (IVO) is a Canadian charity committed to providing health care to those in need around the world. 

In 2012, Katie, Stephen and Peter Huang started Nepal Vision, a charity to provide eye care to those in need in Nepal. After a successful mission, they decided to continue their efforts to other parts of the impoverished world.  In March 2015, IVO was born. 

IVO is a family-based organization, led by Dr. Peter Huang, an ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience and his two children, Katie and Stephen Huang.

Missions

IVO supports those in needs through missions, where the team travels with supplies and expertise to different parts of the world. Each mission often lasts 3 weeks. Dr. Peter does surgery while Stephen and Katie assist in teaching and providing supplies to the local community.
