What We Do
The Bilharzia Storytelling Initiative works across seven key areas to combat Neglected Tropical Diseases and empower communities.
Seven pillars. One mission. Zero NTDs.
Our Programs
Seven pillars driving our mission forward
Raise Awareness
Conducting campaigns to inform the public about Neglected Tropical Diseases, focusing on transmission, symptoms, and prevention in high-risk areas.
Promote Hygiene
Encouraging cleanliness and hygiene practices, such as avoiding contact with contaminated water sources, using clean water, and maintaining overall sanitation.
Improve Water Access
Increasing efforts to provide clean water, especially to marginalized communities, to reduce the risk of NTDs.
Educate Youth
Motivating young people to learn about NTDs and actively contribute to combating them in their communities.
Foster Collaboration
Building partnerships with health institutions, local authorities, private organizations, artists, and other stakeholders to sustainably eliminate NTDs.
Develop Young Talent
Supporting children's talents by promoting educational messaging through schools and media channels.
Support Education & Employment
Collaborating with institutions to help children develop talents, provide financial support for schooling, and create job opportunities aligned with their abilities.
Our Approach
We combine education, infrastructure, and community leadership to create lasting change.
Educate
We start by raising awareness about NTDs through community campaigns, school programs, and media outreach. Knowledge is the first step toward prevention.
Equip
We provide communities with clean water access, hygiene resources, and health training. Local health workers are trained to sustain these efforts long term.
Empower
We develop young talent through education support and skill building. Empowered youth become advocates for health in their communities and beyond.
