robert,

Juan Isaac Zapata Ruiz, a taxi driver in Peru, was nearly blind from cataracts when he walked into a Clinton Foundation-supported clinic last year. Back at work with his newly restored vision, Juan has increased his income by 60 percent and is now able to support his family -- and can even start saving.

Agnes Spinala, the mother of a critically handicapped son in Malawi, needed to raise money to pay school fees for her son. She found work at the Clinton Foundation's Anchor Farm Project, and with her new income she's bought a reliable roof for her house and sent her son to school.

These are just two of the millions of lives that have been dramatically and forever changed thanks to the more than 100,000 generous individuals who support our work -- people just like you.

Want to know more about Juan and Agnes and other Clinton Foundation beneficiaries? Find their stories here >>

President Clinton had a vision when he left office in 2001: to establish a foundation dedicated to implementing sustainable long-term solutions to some of the world's biggest challenges. By fostering partnerships with governments, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals, the Clinton Foundation has been able to build lasting systems that have changed millions of lives for the better.

In 2010 alone, we expanded more programs, welcomed more donors, worked with more partners, and touched more lives than ever before. The numbers speak for themselves:

More than 17,000 cataract surgeries have been provided in underserved communities in Peru;

More than 12,000 U.S. schools have created healthier learning environments;

4,300 smallholder farmers have built sustainable agroforestry businesses that enable them to support their families and reverse deforestation;

$28 million worth of assistance was provided by the Foundation to support relief efforts in Haiti and to help Haitians build back better and stronger;

And much more. (Find all the details of our accomplishments from the past year on our newly created site.)

Because we know that our donors expect the Clinton Foundation to put their contributions to the best possible use, we are proud that 94 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to our programs and that the Clinton Foundation has earned the highest possible four-star rating from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of nonprofit organizations.

We hope that you are proud of what we have accomplished together. With supporters like you on board, we're confident that we'll continue to expand our work to build a better future.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Bruce Lindsey

Chief Executive Officer

Clinton Foundation
