Dear Pr Manuel Alberto,
By making a #GivingTuesday gift today, you can help bring hope into
the lives of some of the world’s poorest and most forgotten people —
saving them from the darkness and despair of blinding trachoma.
Trachoma is the world's leading cause of infectious blindness. It is a
bacterial disease and causes terrible, ongoing pain, stigma, and
disability, reinforcing cycles of poverty and hindering long-term
development. Of the 190 million people at risk for trachoma, most are
children, and women are almost twice as likely as men to develop the
advanced stage of it that causes blindness.
With support from donors like you, we have eliminated blinding
trachoma in Ghana, and now we are working on this same goal in Mali and
Niger.
For a limited time, The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation will double all
gifts, up to a total of $5.1 million, that support the elimination of
blinding trachoma in Mali and Niger. So please act today.
With this special match, your $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100,
$100 becomes $200, and so on. Doubling your gift means TWICE the impact!
Using the proven, low-cost SAFE strategy — Surgery, Antibiotics,
Facial cleanliness, and Environmental improvement — we can put an end to
the excruciating pain and loss of vision caused by trachoma.
Your matched gift will mean:
Support like yours helps The Carter Center pioneer community-based
interventions to educate people and help them adopt healthy behaviors.
In addition to leading the world in sight-saving eyelid surgeries and
drug distribution for neglected tropical diseases (including trachoma),
we train field personnel and thousands of local volunteers how to
encourage preventive practices.
Please make a gift today. Help put proven strategies into action in
Mali and Niger. Your generosity will help build new networks of health
personnel and volunteers in areas where previously there were no
services and no hope. Don’t miss this special opportunity to save people
from blindness and change their lives forever.
With sincere gratitude,
Jimmy Carter Co-Founder and Trustee The Carter Center
P.S. Your #GivingTuesday gift will have an even bigger impact
than you think. The trachoma health education and interventions we bring
to villages in Mali and Niger will help prevent several other neglected
tropical diseases at the same time.
