  • END7 Neglected Tropical Diseases

    Join the international END7 campaign to eliminate the 7 most common neglected tropical diseases across the globe! These diseases prevent rural communities from rising out of poverty by reducing children's ability to go to school and keeping families out of work, but now pharmaceutical companies are providing the medications for free! With only the costs of distrubution, just 50 cents can vaccinate one child against all 7 diseases for an entire year! Join other top universities across the country in the movement to educate the community, fundraise, and advocate to our policy makers. For more information, check out the END7 website: http://www.end7.org/why-ntds or contact Sarah Mosure, UConn's END7 Student Advisory Board representative.
