Dear Friends,
Please support our with your tax-deductible gift in 2016 and restore sight and transform lives. In 2016, Global Eye Project made a significant impact. We restored sight and prevented blindness for thousands in 2016. Many under-privileged people benefited from our effort. Please help us get a good start by making a donation which will help us expand our vision-saving work. Preserving and restoring vision not only transforms that individual but the lives of the loved ones and the entire community. Your support will help us eliminate needless blindness and reach many who otherwise wouldn't have access to this care.
We know that you have many options for your end-of-year giving, and we thank you in advance for choosing Global Eye Project. 100% of your gifts (large or small) will go directly towards making a lasting impact on countless lives by funding our sight saving programs on the ground. You'll be able to claim a tax-deduction in 2016 and we will put your donation to work right away. Begin 2017 knowing you made a difference.
