We envision a world in which all at-risk people are healthy and free of intestinal worms so they can develop to their full potential.
Our work focuses on three pillars:
-
Country Support
We support and build the capacity of national STH programs to ensure effective and efficient delivery of interventions.
-
Partnerships & Advocacy
We build consensus among a broad group of stakeholders and seek to minimize duplication of efforts in advancing STH interventions.
-
Technical Leadership
We provide scientific leadership to advocate for evidence-based approaches for the control of intestinal worm infections.
We acknowledge the critical support of our core funding partners:

Fight off germs and fight off worms #washyourhands #HandHygieneDay20201
GOOD NEWS!
The #Gambia🇬🇲 has successfully eliminated #trachoma as a public health problem — making it the 3rd country in #Africa to reach this milestone.
This is thanks to the hard work of the govt, partners & a large network of community volunteers. https://bit.ly/3tzMRAt
We aim to take the "neglect" out of Neglected Tropical Diseases such as #STH and ultimately ❌ eliminate❌ intestinal worms altogether because we know health is a human right and everyone everywhere should live without #NTDs.
#Worldhealthday
On #worldhealthday and everyday we work to #beatNTDs through strengthening national STH programs & improving partnerships. Intestinal worms 🌏 often affect the most marginalized. These worms should be eradicated so the world can be fairer and healthier for everyone!
