Mineche is Facing River Blindness

Mineche knows that she could become blind. Her grandmother already lost her sight to river blindness after she was bitten by infected black flies. The same black flies that surround Mineche every day.

Without sight-saving medication, Mineche knows she could lose her sight too. Today, you can help make sure that doesn’t happen.

You can send sight-saving medication to stop needless fear and blindness for children and families like Mineche’s. And thanks to a generous donation, your gift will have 3X the impact today!

TRIPLE Your Impact

Thanks to donations from Merck, every $1 you give today will get $3 worth of sight-saving medication into the hands of children and families in Cameroon. That's 3X the impact to stop river blindness for 3X as many children and families!

Stopping River Blindness for Good

You can help put an end to river blindness – so no grandparent, no parent, no child lives in fear of this infection again.

We know that if everyone in a community takes the medication, Mectizan® at least once a year for 10 to 15 years... river blindness will be completely wiped out in that area. It’s already worked in countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Niger. Together with local partners, we can end river blindness in Cameroon too.
