HOW DOES THE FLAGSHIP FUND HELP END NTDS?
About NTDs
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of parasitic and bacterial infectious diseases that affect more than 1.65 billion of the world’s most impoverished people, including nearly 1 billion children. Over 40% of the global NTD burden is concentrated in Africa, where the END Fund focuses the majority of our work. They cause severe pain and long-term disability and lead to death for more than 170,000 people each year. Effects from NTDs such as deformed legs and blindness results in social isolation. Amongst children, infection leads to malnutrition, cognitive impairment, stunted growth, and the inability to attend school.
