Dear
John,
Guinea worm disease has tormented humanity for at least 3,000 years,
infecting millions with worms that painfully exit through lesions in
the skin. Can you imagine growing up knowing you faced this ordeal?
For many of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, this
always has been the case. This terrible disease stops daily life.
Farming, school, and all other activities are replaced with
debilitating pain.
But we are now on the brink of making Guinea worm only the second
human disease, after smallpox, ever eradicated from our planet and the
first without a vaccine!
Your gift today can bring us closer to this goal. When The Carter
Center began leading the Guinea worm campaign in 1986 - tracking
down every case and contaminated water source and teaching people how
to avoid infection - more than 3.5 million people a year were
infected. Now, in the first half of this year, we saw just four human
cases!

Your gift now will allow us to travel to even the most remote
villages, teaching how Guinea worm spreads, how to keep away from
contaminated water sources, and how to use water filters to avoid
infection. Halting diseases like this is just one of so many ways that
you'll help end suffering around the world.
BUILD HOPE WITH A GIFT NOW »

Guinea worm isn't the only cause of suffering you'll help to end.
You'll support innovative approaches that are successfully treating
multiple diseases at once. Ailments such as river blindness, trachoma,
and lymphatic filariasis plague communities that already struggle with
severely limited resources.
Beyond better physical and mental health, your gift will also further
our global efforts for democracy, fair elections, and human rights.
So please be generous when you give today. No one deserves to suffer
when we have low-cost, effective methods for empowering people in
need. Thank you for Building Hope as a member of the Carter Center
family.
Sincerely,
Paige Alexander
