Effect Hope

🛑 Don’t scroll. Read this. Leprosy is curable and less contagious than a cold–yet stigma still costs people jobs, education, and rights. 100+ discriminatory laws remain. This isn’t about disease. It’s about stigma. 🟧 One share = one action to change the story.

On #WorldNTDDay, we shine a light on female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). FGS is caused by a parasitic infection. It's easily treatable and preventable but often unrecognised & misdiagnosed, with many women receiving the wrong treatment. @elimin8schisto

✨ Happy New Year from Effect Hope! As we step into a new year, we’re grateful for the people and partners who make this work possible–and committed to dignity, access, and care for those most often overlooked. #HappyNewYear #GlobalHealth #HealthEquity #EndStigma #NTDs

It’s not too late to stand with a mother in 2025. Shilpi lost her leg, and then her livelihood–but not her strength. She endures unimaginable hardship for the sake of her children. Help a mother move forward: effecthope.org/giftsofhope #GiftsOfHope #HopeInAction

A positive day in Ottawa. Effect Hope met with Senator Mohamed Iqbal Ravalia, who reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for people affected by #NTDs. Grateful to join partners from @Can_NTDs, @MSF_canada, @bruyerehealth, and @Elysium_NSA in advancing this work together.

The #NNN2025 Conference in Uganda brought together global partners, fresh ideas & community voices to shape the future of NTD programs 🌍 Read our recap on collaboration, innovation & lasting change: effecthope.org/nnnrecap #GlobalHealth #NTDs #EffectHope

A historic milestone was achieved at the #WHA78, where a resolution was adopted recognising #skindiseases as a global public health priority. Now, @WHO is conducting an important survey to gather insights that will inform a global action plan. ➡️ bit.ly/WHO-WHA78-Skin…

Can #NTDs really affect countries outside the tropics? The evidence says yes. This week’s #NTDsMythBuster, we unpack a misconception: #NTDs only exist in tropical regions. While most #NTDs are concentrated in tropical regions, their geographical boundaries are expanding. 🧵👇

We’re leaving #NNN2025 energized by new ideas and possibilities ahead! 💡 This year’s conference fostered bold thinking, collaboration, and meaningful inclusion of people affected by NTDs. Inspired to keep these conversations going! 🌍 @NNN_NTD #GlobalHealth
