WHAT YOU CAN DO - Create a Legacy

How a gift in your Will changes lives

There can be a world where no one is needlessly blind, but we need your help.

Eighty percent of blindness in the developing world is preventable or treatable, often with a 15-minute cataract surgery costing as little as $50.

According to the World Health Organization, is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing poverty. When you give someone back their sight, you give at least two people back their lives.

When you join the Legacy 20/20 campaign and make provision for a gift to Seva Canada Society in your Will, you bequeath the gift of sight and hope to children, women and men.

If you’ve had cataract surgery or if you wear glasses or contacts, you can appreciate what a difference eye care makes. With a legacy to Seva Canada Society you transform the lives of others for generations to come.

A gift in your Will doesn’t have to be large to make a difference. Just a small percentage of what’s left after your loved ones are provided for could give a better future for people who suffer from blindness or low vision.

Join Legacy 20/20… together we can help eliminate preventable blindness.
