At NALA, our vision is a world free of preventable diseases that perpetuate the cycle of poverty. Neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, impact almost a quarter of the world’s population in many cases resulting in long-term irreversible damage, such as stunting and blindness.
History
‘In 2011 I founded NALA as an independent NGO after realizing that medication alone is not enough in eradicating neglected tropical diseases, and a comprehensive approach is absolutely needed to reach this goal’ Professor Zvi Bentwich, Head of the Center for Emerging Tropical Diseases and AIDS, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel.
Nala's Board
NALA is grateful for the commitment of its international board who bring experience, opportunities, and resources to the organisation.
