Dear John, As we come to the final days of 2021, there is still time to make a gift that transforms someone’s life forever. With your support, Carter Center staff and volunteers can help bring peace and health to people in need. In countries like Ethiopia that are endemic with trachoma and river blindness, you can replace a devastating cycle of poverty with one of hope and prosperity. Freed from the threat of blindness, adults and children can resume normal lives. They can go to school, farm for food, or sell crops at the market. They won’t fear becoming a burden to their families or being shunned by their communities. |

Carter Center-supported volunteer Meleshew Sisay measures the height of one of her neighbors in Gondar District, Ethiopia, to determine how many ivermectin tablets he should receive to prevent river blindness. Home to great cultural achievements in centuries past, today Ethiopia faces high rates of neglected disease and ethnic tensions. This is the type of challenging environment where your gift can have a powerful impact. |

When you make a gift today, you’ll help us deliver proven methods for ending diseases that prey upon the poor. River blindness, for instance, has been eliminated almost entirely from the Western Hemisphere, and we are ready to assist in bringing the same results to other nations.
You’ll also help us continue to advance peace and human rights for all. People living in fragile democracies or areas of conflict can receive the training and resources that facilitate fair elections, equal rights, and government accountability.
Please take a moment now to continue this important work. With just a few days left in 2021, you can still make a difference. We’re depending on you. Thank you for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter Co-Founder and Trustee The Carter Center
