January 30th will mark the third annual World NTD Day and we need your help to spread the word!
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of parasitic and bacterial diseases that more than 1.7 billion people in the world still require treatment for. NTDs cause severe pain and long-term disability and lead to death for more than 170,000 people per year.
