Our mission: Control and eliminate the most prevalent neglected diseases (NTDs)
About us
The END Fund is a leading collaborative philanthropic fund dedicated to ending neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that limit the lives and livelihoods of 1.7 billion people globally. Through our partners, we support country-led programs that control and eliminate intestinal worms, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, river blindness, trachoma, and visceral leishmaniasis. We efficiently put private capital to work in support of NTD programs that are innovative, integrated, cost-effective, and sustainable. By facilitating strong partnerships with governments, private sector, multilateral organizations, and local program partners, we collaboratively support national disease programs that improve the well-being of communities.

Last year, the END Fund co-hosted a side event with Africa CDC at the CPHIA Conference that convened in November 2023. As more countries have officially eliminated or approach elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), a follow up was recently published concerning how countries can begin to manage post-elimination. 22 African countries have already successfully eliminated at least one NTD. Therefore, post-elimination challenges like potential financial support withdrawal and risk of disease reemergence must be considered. Read more about how countries can start thinking about a world free from NTDs. https://bit.ly/3ZcECgn
