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.

Dear friends and family,

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.

Please help me fundraise to reach my goal of USD2,000 so that collectively the team can reach our USD100,000 target for Seeing is Believing.

Did you know that:

· There are 39 million blind people in the world.
· A further 246 million people have moderate or severe visual impairment.
· 80% of blindness and visual impairment is avoidable (meaning preventable or treatable).
· 90% of blind people live in the developing world.
· Globally, 1.4 million children are blind
· Tackling blindness is one of the most cost-effective health interventions. A sight-restoring cataract operation costs as little as USD 30.

Every time someone makes a donation, Standard Chartered will match it dollar for dollar – doubling the impact of the pledge.

Thank you for your support!

Funds collected are delivered to the beneficiary charity
