Disease-carrying blackflies are everywhere in Fabrice’s village. And each blackfly bite might be the one that makes her blind. Once she’s bitten, it’s only a matter of time before Fabrice starts feeling the worms beneath her skin... before she cries herself to sleep because the itching is so bad... before the faces of her mom and brother and grandmother become blurry and then are gone.
One day, Fabrice will face the same disease. One day, she’ll go slowly, irreversibly blind.
But that doesn't have to be her story. You can still protect children like Fabrice from River Blindness in 2024 by rushing the vital medication they need to stop this disease. Thanks to free medication from Merck, every $1 you give today will get $5 worth of vital medication to kids and families in need. That means your gift today will go 5X further to protect children and families from this blinding disease. You can save sight for generations to come!
River Blindness is an eye disease that can lead to permanent, unnecessary blindness.
Blackflies are infected with a parasitic worm, Onchocerca volvulus. And when the blackflies bite humans, they spread a disease called Onchocerciasis, commonly known as River Blindness.
The medication to eradicate River Blindness has already been donated by a pharmaceutical company.
YOU can get this medication to the children and families who need it most. Every $1 you give today will distribute $5 worth of medication!
The medication you send will go to every person in key communities across Cameroon that are facing River Blindness… eventually putting a stop to River Blindness for good!
