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.
