The fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases is at the heart of Sightsavers’ mission. I could not miss the opportunity to participate in the #WorldNTDChallenge 🌍

Join me - let’s #UniteActEliminate !

It’s devastating to see millions of people losing their health, mobility and livelihoods to neglected tropical disease ( #NTDs ). These diseases can be treated and prevented, which is why Sightsavers and Virgin Unite is working hard to eliminate them: virg.in/ws2j

We are looking forward to joining with global and community leaders to help galvanize new momentum, innovation, and investments towards equitable and climate-resilient health systems that leave no one behind!

'Mali has eliminated the infectious eye disease trachoma as a public health problem 👏

#Sightsavers ’ Boubacar Morou Dicko shares three challenges the country and its partners faced when fighting the disease, and how we overcame them. sightsavers.org/blogs/2023/05/… #BeatNTDs

In 2013, a third of the population of Benin was at risk of blinding trachoma. Today, the disease has been eliminated in the country as a public health problem. #BeatNTDs #EndTrachoma sightsavers.org/stories/2023/0…

As #TED2023 begins I’m reflecting on the day I took to the TED stage in 2018 to talk about the steps Sightsavers and partners needed to take to eliminate trachoma and #BeatNTDs . Since then we’ve made great progress, but there’s still much more to do: sightsavers.org/blogs/2023/04/…

Today is International Women's Day and Sightsavers are celebrating all the places where women make a difference. I've reflected on my own place and the experiences I’ve had along the way, read some of my thoughts:

Today is #WorldNTDDay – do you know what an NTD is? Many people don’t but luckily Sightsavers does! And that’s why we’re working to #BeatNTDs – together we can prevent painful, debilitating diseases.

I’m proud to work with partners like Virgin Unite on the Accelerate programme. Read their recent blog on how we're working together with communities, governments and partners to tackle the neglected tropical disease #trachoma here: virgin.com/virgin-unite/l… Sightsavers

Across Africa, countries are realising they can no longer ignore the rights of people with disabilities. We are calling on governments to act now and #RatifyTheADP   ratify-the-adp.org

The Queen was a truly remarkable person, dedicated to her position, and we offer our condolences to the royal family and all the people closest to her.

We are extremely proud to have worked with The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust to secure a legacy in the Queen’s honour, by making a major contribution to eliminating blinding trachoma within the Commonwealth.

So sad to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

We will remember with affection the support Sightsavers received from Her Majesty’s patronage.
She showed great commitment and gave tremendous validity to our cause. We are grateful and privileged to have had her patronage.

The news of The Queen's passing is devastating. My deepest condolences and prayers go to the Royal Family. I join the millions of people around the world mourning her death. With her dedicated service, she touched the lives of so many. It was an honour to serve under her reign.

1 in 5 of us are affected by neglected tropical diseases. This #WorldNTDDay we’re showing we’re 100% committed to play our part to eliminate them. Find out how you can #PlayYourPart : sightsavers.org/world-ntd-day Sightsavers

It takes a global village to eliminate a disease. Our foundation Virgin Unite is proud to support Sightsavers and help #EndTrachoma : virg.in/4qw5

Yesterday's vote on #UKAid cuts was a depressing step back in global efforts to reduce poverty. Read Sightsavers response on the devastating impact this will have to hundreds of millions of people around the world. More now than ever we need to unite to build an #EqualWorld .
