REACHING A WIDER AUDIENCE: USING THE RADIO MEDIA AS NTDs AWARENESS PLATFORM
How do we reach the most vulnerable when they’re out of sight?
For millions affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), many live in areas where access to cell phones and therefore vital information is limited.
As part of our activities marking World NTD Day (30th January), the club was hosted on VOV Radio 95.7FM to discuss Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
We spoke about what NTDs are, why they matter, and how they can be prevented, while encouraging awareness and early action within our communities.
Advocacy starts with conversation and every voice counts.
