"We make a living by what we get... but we can make a life by what we give"

Share your kindness, be a helping hand  to end Neglected Tropical Diseases.  

The Reach Campaign is a first-of-its-kind fundraising initiative to end the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) river blindness and elephantiasis. NTDs disproportionately affect the world’s poorest people, trapping their families in cycles of poverty. When adults suffer from such diseases, children are taken out of school to support their care.

Just 2 AED can provide the medicine and treatment to protect one person from river blindness, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) and several other co-endemic diseases for the entire year. 

The Fund was launched in 2017 by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, as part of his philanthropic commitment to ending preventable diseases that affect the world’s poorest communities.

The Reach Campaign works closely with its strategic partner, Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) to amplify awareness activities and manage all funds raised. Founded in the UAE in 1983, ERC is an internationally attested member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (ICRC) and one of the UAE’s leading humanitarian organizations. 

The world is one big family, we need to help each other, why not then give as much as you can to save someone's life. 

Lets extend our kind helping hand to make a difference for the people.

Your support goes a long way, thank you.
