Neglected Tropical Diseases affect 1 in 5 people in the world

Neglected Tropical Diseases affect 1 in 5 people worldwide.
Affecting over 1.7 billion people, the Neglected Tropical Diseases impair physical and cognitive development, contribute to mother and child illness and death, make it difficult to farm or earn a living, and limit productivity in the workplace. As a result, Neglected Tropical Diseases trap the poor in a vicious cycle of poverty and disease.
R-Evolution Worldwide proudly collaborates with international stakeholders to end the Neglected Tropical Diseases and break this vicious cycle of poverty.
