You can help start a River of Kindness that will end the misery of River Blindness, once and for all
70-year-old Mama Muni is completely blind. Every day, she sits in darkness, alone and discouraged. But it wasn’t always this way.
When she was a young woman, Mama Muni thrived, working hard and caring for her husband and two children. But then River Blindness came, and robbed her of sight…
“I have now been blind half my life. I don’t go anywhere. It’s a miserable life.”
This misery HAS TO STOP. And it can, with your help. Please help send sight-saving medication to some of the last remaining hotspots being threatened by River Blindness.
You can help free Mama Muni’s village from the threat of River Blindness, forever.
The impact of your gift will be multiplied SEVEN times – IF you give before 30 June.
River Blindness is caused by the bite of an infected blackfly. This bite transfers a parasitic worm to its victim, laying eggs under the skin… which hatch into thousands of larvae that torment the person.
The worms cause severe itching. And once they reach their victims eyes, they eat away at the optic nerves and cause irreversible blindness.
Many people in Mama Muni’s village have already gone blind from this horrific disease…
“I’m not happy at all. My husband went blind before he died, and many of my friends have gone blind also. I always wished that my children would have a better life than me, but they became blind too.”
It doesn’t have to be this way. You can help eliminate the misery of River Blindness, forever.
One of CBM’s partner organisations has donated all the sight-saving medication needed to protect Mama Muni’s community (and the last remaining hotspots of infection) from the threat of River Blindness, forever.
Now we need YOUR help to distribute this medication to those last remaining areas who are still being ravaged by River Blindness. Please donate today.
