With your help, we can increase awareness of NTDs and generate the momentum and political will necessary to eliminate these disabling, disfiguring, and deadly diseases.
It's Easy to Help:
Make a Donation
Your contribution will help support our efforts to control and eliminate NTDs. With over 1.4 billion people affected by these diseases, each dollar you give can provide treatment for two people for seven diseases for one year. Make a donation today!
Organize a Just 50 Cents Campaign
Just 50 Cents is the Global Network's grassroots fundraising and awareness campaign. A donation of just 50 cents can provide treatment for the seven most common neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) to an individual for an entire year. You can convert pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters into meaningful change by organizing a Just 50 Cents campaign in your school, workplace, or community and donating the proceeds to the Global Network's NTD control efforts.

Participate in the Just 50 Cents Campus Challenge
Are you a full time university or graduate student? Then participate in the Just 50 Cents Campus Challenge and lead a campaign at your school. The student that raises the most money to fight NTDs will win a four-week long internship with the Global Network in Washington, D.C., plus $1,000 for housing. If the student raises over $5,000, the internship will include an all-expense paid trip to an NTD treatment site in Africa or Latin America, with the chance to meet experts and patients in the field.

Spread the Word
NTDs are neglected for a reason—most people have never even heard of them! An easy way to spread the word is through Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, and Twitter. Join us online and let us know what you think about the fight against NTDs.
Purchase a Global Network T-Shirt
Join the fight against NTDs by purchasing your own Global Network T-Shirt. Make checks payable to the Sabin Vaccine Institute, c/o the Global Network and write GN T-shirt on the memo line. Mail checks to Sabin Vaccine Institute, 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 7100, Washington, D.C. 20009. T-shirts are $20.
Take Political Action
Building momentum is critical in acheiving global NTD control. In order to do so, we raise awareness and generate support by encouraging political leaders in the United States Government and abroad to take action. Take action by joining us in our efforts to raise the profile of NTDs! (more)
