Clean water & sanitation are essential to reduce the transmission of #NTDs. Yet they're still not accessible for many! That's why, on #GlobalHandwashingDay🚰, we applaud the multi-sector partnerships that ensure effective integration of #WASH➡️https://t.co/bC6N2R9fuJ #BeatNTDs

On #WorldSightDay, we want to celebrate the phenomenal people around the world working to end trachoma. Together, a world free from trachoma is within sight!
