Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving
I'm attempting to cross South America East to West, solo and on foot, from the Atlantic coast in Brazil to the Pacific coast in Peru, following the mighty Amazon river from sea to source to sea, primarily as a personal challenge, but I also wanted to help support the amazing work of the Seeing is believing charity.
Seeing is Believing is a global initiative to help tackle avoidable blindness. Since the launch of the programme in 2003, 78 million people have been reached. ( Including Peru )
"We raise money to prevent and treat avoidable blindness. Through our funding and partnerships, we've helped to bring affordable eye-care to some of the poorest communities across the globe"
"Seeing is Believing is a collaboration between Standard Chartered and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). We work with eye-care leaders to make sure that your donation has maximum impact. Standard Chartered matches every dollar raised".

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
