Painful ☹️
Life-altering 👁️
Neglected 🤷

More than a billion people are affected by neglected tropical diseases. But they don't have to be. If we come together we can consign these devastating diseases to history. https://t.co/1ddBkBZZSr #beatNTDs #WorldNTDDay

We were thrilled to hear recently that the Reaching the Last Mile Fund will be expanding.

This will have a huge impact in the fight against river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, two devastating diseases.
