• Over 200 million people in 31 countries worldwide are
in need of treatment for river blindness, the majority of
the burden being in Africa.
• River blindness affects individuals as well as families
and communities. When adults suffer from river
blindness, children are taken out of school to support
their care.
• In addition to sparing tens of millions of people from
the risk of a painful and disfiguring disease, studies
estimate that river blindness elimination in Africa could
generate up to $6 billion USD in economic benefits
across the continent.]]> 2021-01-11 11:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stela_samuela/2wi1gs9ptlyfaudo/wish/1073465814 stela_samuela https://padlet.com/stela_samuela/2wi1gs9ptlyfaudo/wish/1073467510
