Neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, are a group of preventable and treatable illnesses that affect the world’s most vulnerable populations. While not always fatal, their effects can be devastating. NTDs cause chronic pain, blindness, and disfigurement, contributing to a cycle of poverty that keeps children out of school and adults out of work.
The human toll is steep — but we are fighting back. Together.
