The END Fund is a collaboration between some of the most progressive philanthropists around the globe, coming together to form a private initiative aimed at tackling neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

(NTDs) are a group of parasitic and bacterial infectious diseases that affect over 1.6 billion of the world’s most impoverished people, including 875 million children. They cause severe pain, long-term disability, and are the cause of death for over 500,000 people per year. Amongst children, infection leads to malnutrition, cognitive impairment, stunted growth, and the inability to attend school. Adults suffer from social isolation and are unable to work, and anaemia caused by NTDs increases the risk of maternal mortality. Nasser & Rula Watar Foundation have invested in supporting End Fund goals and global health movement in countries affected by NTDs. Together both foundations aim to raise awareness in order to combat and eradicate preventable diseases.
