Current Appeal – River Blindness – Nigeria

Your caring gift is urgently needed to eradicate River Blindness for good.

Your gift will go 7 times further!

“I know the plans I have for you… plans to give you a hope and a future.”  – Jeremiah 29:11

It’s not the nasty, biting flies that cause the damage… it’s the parasites they carry – thousands of tiny larvae that slowly and agonisingly steal a person’s vision, leaving them permanently blind.

Today, we’re fighting two battles.

One against River Blindness itself. And another against distance – the vast, unforgiving distance between our stores of the blindness-preventing medicine, and the last remaining hotspots of infection in the world’s most remote communities.

With your urgent support, you can help close this distance. Please will you prayerfully consider sending a sight-saving gift today?

Your generosity will go 7 times further in the fight to eliminate River Blindness for good, because your sight-saving impact will be multiplied by 7 to supply medication to protect children and adults from this devastating disease.

They say that where the road ends, River Blindness begins. And that’s never been more true.

The last remaining hotspots are the hardest to reach – tiny, isolated villages far from any road, deep in the most remote regions.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of supporters like you, we are so close to eliminating River Blindness in community after community where cbm works. This is an historic moment – one you can be proud of!

If we don’t act now, River Blindness could return with devastating consequences.

We cannot let this happen. We must get medicine to these final pockets of infection before it’s too late.

Please send your life-changing gift today so that its impact can be multiplied by seven to supply sight-saving treatment.

The only way to fully eliminate River Blindness is to treat every affected community with medicine annually for at least ten years. This ensures that every single parasitic worm is wiped out – freeing entire villages from the disease forever.

We are close. So close.

But to finish this fight, we need you now more than ever.

We have stocks of medicine ready to go – but we just need your help to get it to the people who live in harm’s way in River Blindness hotspots. Please send your gift today so its impact can go 7 times further in the battle to eradicate River Blindness for good.

Thank you for being part of this life-changing mission.
