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.
