NTD’s affect more than a billion people around the world and yet most of them can be easily prevented and treated. The reason they’re not? Because they happen to some of the poorest people in the world. Let’s call on leaders to help rid the world of NTD’s.
I can’t thank everyone enough for the love and support they’ve showed us this last month. If you’ll join me, let’s now turn our attention to those in rural communities who need support as well by raising awareness.
