“It has become very clear that the goal for elimination of WASH-based NTDs is in stride, and is something we can achieve if we utilize the community of practice effectively.” @matendechero of the @MOH_Kenya highlights how an effective community of practice can help #BeatNTDs

“NTDs begin at the end of the road. In our programming, we must plan for how to reach those at the end of the road, who are the most disadvantaged and affected by NTDs.” @matendechero @MOH_Kenya #WASHforHealth #beatNTDs
