Joined activities and projects included football clinics for the visually impaired children across the globe as well as two consecutive seasons to gain international exposure for Seeing is Believing. Standard Chartered Bank partnered through this initiative with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and leading eye-care NGOs to improve access to eye-care across the Middle East, Asia, Africa and South America. Since 2003, the Bank has raised USD50 million and helped more than 28 million people.
