We started a new journey with millions of women and girls that can not read or write, and have been excluded from life-saving information.
Providing health and development messages through local languages has helped these women and girls bridge these gaps. #SmartDevelopmentHack
Today 24th March 2022, we celebrate #WorldTBDay to remind us that #TB remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of nearly one-and-a-half million people each year, mostly in countries like ours.
We call on us all to unite and invest to #StopTB and save lives.
In our quest to carry on the work we do in helping millions of people beat this deadly disease, we ask of you today to make an investment that will give you a return of investment in human lives. #InvestToEndTB
Each year, we commemorate World Tuberculosis Day on March 24 to raise public awareness about devastating health, social and economic consequences of TB, & to step up efforts to end the global TB epidemic. Let us all unite & invest to end Tuberculosis & Save lives.
#WorldTBDay2022
Cancer has the potential to push families into poverty, especially in lower income countries, an effect that has been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year's World Cancer Day theme is "Closing the care gap".

Nearly one in fifth people is affected or threatened by a poverty-associated disease and are trapped in a cycle of poverty caused by these preventable diseases.
We are yet to raise the needed awareness and include those affected in community decision-making. Time to act is now.
"To ensure that we all contribute our quota; to see that nobody, nobody is excluded because of a disease, certainly not because of leprosy."
Dr. Joseph Chukwu (Acting CEO/Country Rep of RedAid/DAHW Nigeria) #BeatLeprosy#BeatNTDs#EndTheStigma#HealthForNaija#DoNotForgetLeprosy
To #BeatNTDs, we must address treatment, manage disability, and do away with social stigma.
Join us this #WorldNTDDay and help achieve health equity for all. Take action. #HealtForNaija
Gender-based violence is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in the world. On #HumanRightsDay we call for continued global efforts to end #GBV and celebrate the work of our partners all year long. #16Days#OrangeTheWorld
#WASH is critical to #beatNTDs. Recognizing this, @WHO has updated its Global WASH and #NTD Strategy and is soliciting YOUR feedback! Please submit all comments by 3 March at https://t.co/8fQi3HvNtZ #NTD2030roadmap
Many NTDs have long term consequences, such as visual and physical impairment. As a result people with NTDs may have difficulties in carrying out activities or participating in society-in other words, #NTDs can cause #disabilities and #stigmatisation in the community.
One in five people are afflicted globally by “diseases of the poor”. These diseases blind, disabled and disfigure, and perpetuate a cycle of poverty, keeping millions of #children and adults out of work. It’s high time to #beatntds and their consequences!
