WORLD NTDs DAY - January 30, 2021
Leprosy is one of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Our organization, Leprosy Relief Canada, is a new member of the Canadian Network of NTDs.
On Saturday, January 30, we will follow the illumination of buildings in purple and orange - from the Great Wall of China to the Colosseum in Rome, the African Renaissance Monument in Dakar to the CN Tower in Toronto - to drive global awareness of the 1.7 billion people still affected by those neglected diseases.
Close to 40 international monuments will glow orange and purple to remind us of the worldwide importance of the Neglected Tropical Diseases.
