Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases

January 3, 2026 Masse Comments Off

Massé World’s Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) Program is a high-impact health initiative developed in partnership with the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) to strengthen prevention, early detection, and community-wide response to life-threatening diseases affecting vulnerable populations across Africa. This collaborative program unites Massé World’s grassroots health-access model with ALMA’s continental leadership network to accelerate progress toward malaria elimination and reduce the burden of NTDs in underserved communities.

Our Mission

To save lives and improve community health by expanding education, prevention, and treatment access for malaria and NTDs, with a special focus on children, women, and medically vulnerable groups—including individuals with albinism.

Why This Work Matters

Malaria remains one of Africa’s leading causes of preventable death, disproportionately affecting children under five. NTDs—such as river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, and bilharzia—continue to trap millions in cycles of disability and poverty.

For individuals with albinism, medical vulnerability is even higher due to weakened immune responses, limited access to care, and high exposure to environmental risks.

This partnership bridges the gap.
Together with ALMA, Massé World is expanding lifesaving access, strengthening community resilience, and supporting Africa’s commitment to eliminating malaria and NTDs.
