Good, DOUBLE Your Gift to End Blinding Trachoma

DOUBLE YOUR GIFT FOR #GIVINGTUESDAY » Dear Good, Because of generous donors like you, we are over halfway toward our $6.44 million fundraising goal for ending blinding trachoma in Mali and Niger by 2017. When you give now to this important cause, your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. You can help us: Save the eyesight of some of the world's poorest people Stop terrible pain and stigma caused by this infectious disease Return adults to caring for their families and children to school With this special match: $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, $100 becomes $200, and so on. Doubling your gift means twice the impact. And, every gift counts no matter how small. ACT NOW AND DOUBLE YOUR GIFT » Trachoma is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness. Of the 232 million people at risk for trachoma, most are children, and women are almost twice as likely as men to develop the advanced stage of trachoma that causes blindness. Using the proven and low-cost strategy of S.A.F.E. — Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial cleanliness, and Environmental improvement — The Carter Center is helping Mali and Niger put an end to the excruciating pain and loss of vision caused by trachoma. These are examples of what your gift can help provide: $50 can cover the cost of printing approximately 10 flip charts for preventive health education $100 can purchase the cement and rebar needed to construct latrines for approximately 10 families Just under $250 pays for a trachoma surgery kit to alleviate suffering and prevent blindness Your matched gift today will double the treatment and preventive education that we can bring to the people of Mali and Niger, and allow these countries to meet their goal of eliminating the disease once and for all. Don't miss this special opportunity to save someone from blindness and change their life forever. With sincere gratitude, Jimmy Carter Co-Founder and Trustee P.S. The gift you make now will have a far-reaching impact — more than just ending blindness. By freeing the vulnerable people of Mali and Niger from the threat of blinding trachoma, you also will help them return to their livelihoods, overcoming a future of poverty.
