Help Support the END Fund’s Mission and Raise Awareness for NTDs

We believe that giving should be a joyful and transformative experience that enhances the lives of partners and beneficiaries alike. Support our mission in a number of ways, a few of which are outlined below.

Summit to see the END

Hikers at the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro help raise awareness for NTDs.

Trek to one of the world’s greatest peaks and stand on the rooftop of Africa. By climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, you can help raise awareness (and funds) to end the suffering of millions of people with NTDs.

Join this extraordinary adventure! If Kilimanjaro is on your bucket list, contact us at [email protected] for dates, details, and training tips.

Race to see the END

Runners celebrating after Victoria Falls Marathon.

Have you ever wanted to run across the stunning backdrop of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or participate in the Kigali International Peace Marathon in Rwanda? Perhaps even join the Lagos City Marathon in Nigeria or run through all the five boroughs of New York for the TCS New York City Marathon on their 50th Anniversary?

By joining the Race to See the END, you can support the END Fund’s mission all while participating in one of the many marathons (or half marathons) around the world.

Shop

When shopping on Amazon, you can use smile.amazon and set up to donate back to the END Fund. Every time you shop a portion of the proceeds will support END Fund programming.
