| Desc | PUBLIC AWARENESS: IN 2013,HELPMESEE CONTINUED ENGAGING IN HIGH-LEVEL POLICY DIALOGUE AND DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-LEVEL SURGICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE AND PATIENT CARE MANAGEMENT OF CATARACT SURGICAL SERVICES ACROSS 93 SURGICAL PARTNERS, COUNTRY GOVERNMENTS WHERE BLINDNESS IS MOST PREVALENT AND SEVERAL GLOBAL COMPANIES' CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) SECTORS. THE SURGICAL PARTNER PROGRAM INCLUDES KEY ADVOCACY COMPONENTS DESIGNED TO YIELD GREATER PUBLIC EDUCATION, STRONGER UNDERSTANDING OF CATARACT BLINDNESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND TO GARNER THE SUPPORT OF INFLUENTIAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES. ADDITIONALLY, HELPMESEE LAUNCHED AN AGGRESSIVE MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO RAISE THE AWARENESS TOWARD THE TRAGEDY OF CATARACT BLINDNESS AND THE PHILOSOPHY AND SUBSEQUENT PROGRAMMATIC ACTIONS BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE ORGANIZATION. INSPIRED BY THE THEORY OF CROWD-SOURCE COMMUNICATIONS, HELPMESEE EMBARKS ON A TWENTY-YEAR JOURNEY TO ENGAGE GLOBAL CITIZENS IN THE FIGHT TO ELIMINATE CATARACT BLINDNESS. FURTHER TO THIS, HELPMESEE FORGED KEY PARTNERSHIPS WITH LEADING NON-PROFITS WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMMATIC ALIGNMENT TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN PUBLIC AWARENESS AND TO LEND CREDIBILITY IN EYE HEALTH CARE POLICY DIALOGUE. A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS SUCCESS IS HELPMESEE'S THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH HELPAGE INDIA - THE COUNTRY'S LEADING HUMANITARIAN NON-PROFIT DEDICATED TO THE ELDERLY PEOPLE OF INDIA. THIS PARTNERSHIP STRENGTHENS THE ISSUE OF AVOIDABLE BLINDNESS IN A COUNTRY WHERE BLINDNESS IS MOST PREVALENT AND WHERE A MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S CITIZENS, BLINDED BY CATARACT, RESIDE. HELPMESEE CONTINUES TO WORK WITH, AND TO REACH OUT TO, LEADING HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS IN AFRICA AND ASIA IN ORDER TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND TO ALIGN PROGRAMMATICALLY WHEN POSSIBLE. | Desc |

| Desc | CATARACT SURGERIES:ELIMINATING CATARACT BLINDNESS IS NOT ONLY AT THE CORE OF THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN - IT IS THE REASON IT EXISTS. WITH THIS, THE NUMBER OF MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERIES (MSICS) PERFORMED IS THE BASIC INDICATOR OF MISSION PROGRESS. IN THE REPORTING YEAR 2013 - THE ORGANIZATION'S 2ND YEAR OF MSICS OPERATIONS - HELPMESEE SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED A TOTAL OF 149 SURGICAL PARTNERS WHO PERFORMED 74,558 CATARACT SURGERIES, EXCEEDING THE STATED GOAL OF 70,000, AND BRINGING THE OVERALL NUMBER TO 100,000 COMPLETED SURGERIES. WITH THE INCREASING NUMBER OF SURGICAL PARTNERS AND THE EXPANSION OF GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS, HELPMESEE HAS THE CAPACITY TO RAPIDLY SCALE UP THE CATARACT SURGICAL OUTREACH INTO MORE COUNTRIES, MORE STATES AND MORE VILLAGES. THE HELPMESEE SURGICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF MONITORING MILLIONS OF SURGERIES IN REAL TIME, MANAGE THE LOGISTICS OF PRE-STERILIZED SURGICAL KITS AND FACILITATE TIMELY PAYMENT PROCESSING TO OUR SURGICAL PARTNERS. HELPMESEE TRACKS AND REPORTS 100% OF SURGERIES PERFORMED AND REVIEWS SURGICAL QUALITY OUTCOME FROM EACH SURGICAL PARTNER IN ORDER TO MONITOR SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND TO DISCOVER BEST PRACTICES. HELPMESEE EXPECTS TO SUPPORT 150,000 SURGERIES IN 2014, BRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SURGERIES TO 250,000. | Desc |

| Desc | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: THE HELPMESEE BLINDNESS ELIMINATION STRATEGY IS BUILT AROUND TRAINING OF LOCAL SURGICAL PARTNERS, SUSTAINABILITY AND EMPOWERMENT. CRITICAL TO THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN IS THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF THE HELPMESEE MSICS TRAINING SIMULATOR WITH BUILT IN INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM AND COURSEWARE. IN 2013, HELPMESEE, ALONG WITH ITS SURGICAL SIMULATOR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, CONTINUED TESTING THE HIGH-QUALITY SIMULATION OF THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE - STEP BY STEP - AGAINST PHYSICS-BASED DATA TO SUPPORT CRITICAL SURGICAL ELEMENTS AND ALL SURGICAL PROCESS VARIABLES. THIS INCLUDED FORCE MEASUREMENTS, ANATOMICAL AND A SURGICAL RESPONSE FROM THE HUMAN EYE AND COVERS EVERY POSSIBLE VARIABLE AND COMPLICATION THAT COULD OCCUR DURING THE SURGERY. THE 360-DEGREE TRAINING MODULE AND INSTRUCTIONAL COURSEWARE IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED WITH THE SURGICAL SIMULATOR'S VIRTUAL REALITY BASED MODEL OF THE HUMAN EYE AS THE CENTERPIECE. IN 2013, HELPMESEE COMPLETED COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION FOR MSICS TRAINING AND WILL BE TESTED AND VALIDATED DURING THE PILOT PROGRAM IN 2014. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | AN ESTIMATED 20 MILLION PEOPLE ARE BILATERALLY BLIND DUE TO CATARACT, AND 167 MILLION SUFFER FROM VISUAL IMPAIRMENT CAUSED BY CATARACT. THEY COULD GET THEIR SIGHT RESTORED THANKS TO A SURGERY THAT TAKES AS LITTLE AS 5 MINUTES FOR AN ADULT AND 15 MINUTES FOR A CHILD. UNFORTUNATELY, 99% OF THEM WILL NEVER RECEIVE THIS SURGERY AND REMAIN BLIND BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO POOR TO AFFORD THE COST OF SURGERY AND/OR THEY LIVE IN REMOTE COMMUNITIES WITH NO ACCESS TO TREATMENT. THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS THESE SPECIFIC DISPARITIES BY MAKING THIS ESSENTIAL SURGERY AVAILABLE TO EVERY BLIND CHILD AND ADULT IN THE WORLD WHO NEEDS IT REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY LIVE OR HOW POOR THEY MAY BE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE BLIND LIVE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, WHERE A LACK OF ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY SERVICE PREVENTS THEM FROM UNDERGOING A QUICK, YET SAFE SURGERY THAT COULD RESTORE THEIR VISION. ACCORDING TO A RECENTLY PUBLISHED RAND CORPORATION HEALTH STUDY, CATARACT BLINDNESS WILL INCREASE TO 32 MILLION BY 2020, COSTING THE WORLD GDP APPROXIMATELY $1 TRILLION EACH YEAR. THE HELPMESEE GOAL IS TO DELIVER VERY LOW-COST, HIGH-QUALITY MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERY (MSICS) TO MILLIONS OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. AS OF APRIL 2014, WORKING WITH 149 PRACTICING PARTNER MSIC SURGEONS IN CHINA, INDIA, NEPAL, SIERRA LEONE AND TOGO, HELPMESEE HAS RESTORED SIGHT TO MORE THAN 150,000 BLIND PERSONS, WITH A PROJECTED INCREASE TO SURPASS 250,000 BY THE END OF 2014. BUILDING ON THIS MOMENTUM OF SUCCESS, THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE 35 COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT AFRICA, ASIA, AND LATIN AMERICA, OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, BY CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING SIMULATION-BASED SURGICAL INSTRUCTION SYSTEMS, HELPMESEE EXPECTS TO TRAIN 1,680 MSICS SPECIALISTS BY 2017, ENABLING THEM TO SUCCESSFULLY PERFORM 1 MILLION SURGICAL PROCEDURES WITH HELPMESEE SUPPORT. IN 20 YEARS, HELPMESEE EXPECTS TO TRAIN 30,000 MSICS-DEDICATED SPECIALISTS TO DELIVER 60-70 MILLION SURGERIES REQUIRED TO PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG OF CATARACT BLINDNESS. |

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013, THE CAMPAIGN RAISED $82,645 AND, TOGETHER, EXPECTS TO RAISE $887,160 BY THE END OF 2014. AL UELTSCHI FOUNDATION AND THE BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HELPMESEE THROUGH UNRESTRICTED GRANTS. ADDITIONALLY, HELPMESEE RECEIVED $2,716,240 FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS IN 2013. HELPMESEE'S PROGRAM EXPENSES RATIO IN 2013 IS 77%, AS COMPARED TO 69% IN 2012. FOR 2013, THE MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL EXPENSES ARE 7% AND FUNDRAISING COSTS 16% RESPECITIVELY. THE SURGICAL PROGRAM SUPPORT EXPENSES INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY TO $3,513,101 IN 2013 AS COMPARED TO $1,350,708 IN 2012. |
