This Page is fundraising for:

Standard Chartered Seeing is Believing
Managed by: CAF America

Eighty percent of blindness is avoidable, and for as little as US$30, a person’s sight can be restored. Seeing is Believing is a collaboration between the International Agency for Prevention of Blindness and Standard Chartered Bank. Together we’ve set an ambitious target of raising $100m by 2020 to tackle preventable blindness. Every time someone makes a donation, Standard Chartered will match it dollar for dollar – doubling the impact of the pledge.

Page information:

I’ll be cycling in the 2014 Ride for Sight event, a 260 mile bike ride from Boston to New York on June 23 - June 25. Standard Chartered Bank is sponsoring a team of cyclists to complete the 3-day ride to raise USD100,000+ for Seeing is Believing, a collaboration between the Bank and IAPB (the International Agency for Preventable Blindness). The Bank will match all funds raised by the cyclists.

More details:  To date, Seeing is Believing has reached 45 million people in some of the world’s poorest communities by giving them access to eye-care services, funding projects to prevent blindness and restore vision. 80% of the world’s blindness is avoidable. Incredibly, a person’s sight can be restored for as little as USD$30. Please give what you can, your contributions make an enormous impact. Loss of sight often results in social exclusion, making blind people vulnerable to abuse, poverty and early death. Less than half of all children who lose their sight will survive to adulthood. The figures are overwhelming. Help us to help others see by donating now.

Funds collected are delivered to the beneficiary charity
